I have a SMP P3 system on a P2B-D motherboard. I have ATA-66 drives and
I've purchased a Promise controller card to utilize the drives. The
problem is that the system locks up when I try and install 7.2. The
lockup occurs after the drives are found, the I/O and IRQ are displayed
then nothing....
>From doing a search online it appears that UDMA 66 and SMP (2.2.x)has
been buggy, is this still the case? Obviously, I'd like to get UDMA 66
working, has anyone tried UDMA 66 and SMP with 2.4? Would an
appropriate solution be to install 7.2(using the IDE controller on the
motherboard). Install 2.4, then edit the appropriate files(lilo.conf,
fstab (did I miss anything else?)), to have Linux boot from /dev/hde.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance,
Cecil
