Hi everybody,
With the help of Thibaut and Benjamin (see previous posts) I was
able to get the card running! Thank you a lot!
I downloaded the source of the 2.6.8 kernel (which is a Debian
package), applied Thibaut's patch and compiled the resulting
patched kernel as described in the Debian manual:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch08s04.html.en
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html
(In my case I also had to make an initial ramdisk, man mkinitrd,
something which I think is not covered in the above manual.)
Many thanks,
Kaspar

Hi everybody,
I have installed an
Acard AEC-6280M (Version 2.16)
PCI-to-IDE extension card into one of my mac's PCI slots.
However, when I boot Debian Linux 2.6.8-powerpc, the
following message shows up.
Wait for ready failed before probe !
hde: lost interrupt
(I am sorry that I cannot reproduce the error verbatim;
I have a huge number of Firewire-related error messages
so that dmesg skips the beginning of the boot messages.)
Does anybody know what the above lost interrupt/failure
means and how I can fix it?
This card needs a patch to work properly... ask Thibaut VARENE
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I suppose that patch could be included in
Debian kernel...
It's been included in current git tree and will show in 2.6.16. You
can find it here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=113128446708744&q=p3
I suppose it would probably be a good idea to backport it to debian's
2.6.15 which is (iirc) scheduled to be the kernel shipped with etch...
Besides, it's quite a simple patch.
HTH
