Thanks to everyone that answered my first request. I have tried several of your suggestions, but to no

avail. :(

I have included information on what I have tried, and how I tried it, in the hopes that somebody will catch my mistake, if any.

I have included a copy of

1) first message to this mailing list

2) my lilo.conf,

3) dmesg file when computer boots ok, ( hpt366 disabled)

4) dmesg file ( partial ) when computer crashes during boot

In case this helps. I have what seems to be the latest bios for

the abit be6-2 motherboard, and the hpt366 ( which is in the same bios update )

my computer's bios is set to non-pnp, as the irqs for my network card and the

soundblaster live compatibility mode had to be set as fixed. when I make the os pnp, my mouse cursor

disappears. ( windows 2000 ) yikes.

If anybody has any more suggestions, please feel free to solve my problem. :)

Stuart

Hello there, I just recently installed mandrake 7.2, and it doesn't work
if my onboard hpt366 pci card is active in the bios

UPDATE:

I have tried updating lilo by adding the lines to /etc/lilo.conf

1) append="ide2=dma ide3=dma"

2) append "ide2=noautotune ide3=noautotune"

and the computer still stops booting at the same point

I have also checked in windows 2000 ( triple boot ) the i/o range of the hpt card in the hardware settings:

for ide2

A) $cc00-$cc07
B) $d000-$d003
C) $d400-$d4ff
irq 11

for ide3

D) $d800 - $d807
E) $dc00 - $dc03
F) $e000 - $e0ff
irq 11

according to the udma hpt366 mini howto, you pass parameters

append="ide2=A,(B+2),[opt irq] ide3=D,(E+2),[opt irq]"

I tried appending the line, again separately

append="ide2=0xcc00,0xd002 ide3=0xd800,0xdc02"

and this still didn't work

so I also tried, adding the irq 11 into the boot process.

append="ide2=0xcc00,0xd002,11 ide3=0xd800,0xdc02,11"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each time I tried each line, I would follow this process

1) boot, enter bios with del key

2) disable hpt366 in bios, so computer can boot sucessfully

3) reboot, select linux in lilo menu

4) edit /etc/lilo.conf, trying each of the append lines above, separately.

5) save the updated lilo.conf

6) verify that the file saved, then run /sbin lilo to update boot menu

7) shutdown, reboot

8) enable hpt in bios. reboot again

9) select linux

10) linux boots partway, and crashes

heres a copy of my lilo.conf file

here is a copy of my dmesg when the hpt366 is DISABLED. small 3gig drive is currently unplugged from HPT366, to minimize possible conflicts

computer boots fine, just can't access udma drives ( of course ) This is the only way that I could actually install Mandrake Linux. 7.2

*******************************************************

Booting with HPT366 enabled. small 3gig drive is currently unplugged from HPT366, to minimize possible conflicts

some of this is assumed, as I can't get to the dmesg command when the computer won't boot. If there's a way and you know it,

then please let me know. What I can read on the screen I copied to this file and updated it. The file ends where the computer crashes.

What I noticed: the reported ide address settings on bootup use the 3rd number of the set of three addresses

instead of the first two. Is this normal?
