I've been through the archives and I know that this
subject has been beat to death, but I have an issue with getting my HPT366
controller on a Abit BE6 motherboard to boot my Quantam 18.2 gb
hardrive.
This is the message that I have posted on several
news groups, can anyone PLEASE tell me what the heck I am doing wrong
?!?!?!?!?
I am trying to get Mandrake 7 (linux kernel 2.2.14)
to boot off a drive connected to the HPT366 controller on my Abit BE6
motherboard. I have gone over the instructions that are availible on http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~b6506063/hpt366/
several times now, and I can get it to ALMOST work. The lilo will come up,
the kernel will start to load, the HPT drivers seem to recognize the drive, then
it freezes. In order to demonstrate how far the kernel boots, I have
copied this messages file from http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~b6506063/hpt366/messages
and have indicated below where my system comes to a halt. (Of course there are
other differences, but it should illustrate my point).
To Recap: My current configuration is: -Abit BE6 motherboard with a built in HPT366 controll -18.2 GB Quantum Fireball KA -The disk is partioned like so: 1: 2 gb fat 32. 2: 4 gb fat 32 3: 16mb ext2 (/boot, this is within the first 1024 cylenders) 4: 3.8 gb ext2 (/) 5: 256 swap 6: 2gb fat 16 7: 4gb fat 16 -128mb ram -OS - Linux Mandrake 7 -Kernel 2.2.14, fresh from the source. -I have tried the three latest IDE patches from Hendrick. -Lilo looks like it's configured properly (boot=/dev/hde,Disk=/dev/hde, bios=0x80,root=/dev/hde7) -The system will boot fine with the kernel not compiled with the IDE patch and using the backward compatibility features of the controller. -Sad part is the controller works great with WINDOWS 98! ***********SAMPLE MESSAGE FILE************ Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.2 Based upon Swansea University Computer Society NET3.039 NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0 for Linux NET4.0.

ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ? Thanks, David Stringer |
