X-Debian-Message: Spam detection
I have a Future Domain IDE-16032 2 channel IDE controller. Normally I have one hdd on the motherboard controller, and one on the secondary channel of the FD controller. The FD controller is faster than the motherboard controller, but I do not know how to disable the motherboard controller, so that is why I do it like that. If I try and boot linux off the hard disk using the loadlin stuff, it stops just after it has decided it can't initialise a SCSI card and gives a repeated error, with ever increasing <sector number> : end_request: i/o error, dev 01:00, sector <sector number> it doesn't seem to stop, not even after a long time. I am fairly sure that it is related to this card, because when I connected my second HDd as slave on my motherboard controller it was absolutely fine. Why is this, and can I do anything about it?
