Ok, I patched to 2.2.5, ran setup and took out SCSI emulation and added
the CMD640 chipset fix support, added the BSD process accounting
support, applied the patch to fix the errors with it, recompiled, ran
lilo, rebooted, ran BIOS setup, set the secondary master to none,
rebooted, and here's what I got:
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL SE4.3A, ATA DISK drive
hdb: FUJITSU M1636TAU, ATA DISK drive
hdc: IRQ probe failed (0)
hdc: no response (status = 0xd0), resetting drive
hdc: ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 24X MAXIMUM, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL SE4.3A, 4110MB w/80kB Cache, CHS=524/255/63, UDMA
hdb: FUJITSU M1636TAU, 1226MB w/128kB Cache, CHS=622/64/63, DMA
hdc: ATAPI 20X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache
Thanks for the tip on the BIOS setting Craig.
