I had to buy new motherboard because old one blew up,and I heard Intel
is Linux-friendly (thinking of drivers forNIC, graphics, audio,
SATA),...So I got DQ965GF. Earlier I had also used Intel's ATA chipset
(since year 1999),and the piix driver without problems. But now when I
boot with this "production-quality"driver, I get with 2.6.18.3:
ata_piix 0000:00:1F:2: MAP [ P0 -- P1 -- ]...ATA: abnormal status 0x7F
on port 0x214F...and it can't find block devices.2.6.16 also ways "port
disabled".What is 0x7F supposed to mean and is it against the specs or
something?I have tried various options for ten hours, and I ran out of
imagination.Maybe someone can suggest something. First I would like to
bootthe system with or without DMA, then optimize later.I have two PATA
hard disks connected on the motherboard and no SATA stuffs.I tried to
get lspci output in Knoppix, but it freezes after I press enter in the
boot menu.And no serial console etc.
