I am having a big problem here. My nice little "CD burning server", under my bed, is crippled because the large (40GB) IDE drive in it simply does not detect.
This is a KNOWN WORKING drive. I just pulled it out of a working system. I've tried compiling IDE Disk Support and the Promise controller driver (the two necessary modules, of course) as modules, and I've tried compiling them straight into the kernel. NEITHER WORKS. When I insert ide-mod and ide-disk, I get: Apr 11 10:19:28 gandalf kernel: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 Apr 11 10:19:28 gandalf kernel: ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx Apr 11 10:19:28 gandalf kernel: PDC20246: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 70 Apr 11 10:19:28 gandalf kernel: PDC20246: chipset revision 1 Apr 11 10:19:28 gandalf kernel: PDC20246: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later Apr 11 10:19:28 gandalf kernel: PDC20246: ROM enabled at 0x80810000 Apr 11 10:19:28 gandalf kernel: PDC20246: (U)DMA Burst Bit DISABLED Primary PCI Mode Secondary PCI Mode.

This is very frustrating. And yes, I have already checked the connections to the disk. They are fine. :) Any help? J e s s i c a L e a h B l a n k
