Tried again with disks set in fstab as /dev/hd{a,b,c,d,e}, with kernels
2.4.2-18mdk and 2.2.19-6mdk. Boot process freezes at the same point with
both. Console output (2.4.2-18mdk) follows:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PCI: Enabling device 00:07.1 (0000 -> 0001)
PIIX4: chipset revision 1
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PIIX4: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)
PDC20267: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 40
PCI: Found IRQ 15 for device 00:08.0
PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:0c.0
PDC20267: chipset revision 2
PDC20267: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PDC20267: ROM enabled at 0xea000000
PDC20267: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary PCI Mode Secondary PCI Mode.
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc400-0xc407, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xc408-0xc40f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:DMA
PDC20262: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 48
PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:09.0
PDC20262: chipset revision 1
PDC20262: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PDC20262: ROM enabled at 0xeb000000
PDC20262: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary PCI Mode Secondary PCI Mode.
ide2: BM-DMA at 0xd800-0xd807, BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:pio
ide3: BM-DMA at 0xd808-0xd80f, BIOS settings: hdg:DMA, hdh:pio
******************* FREEZES HERE ****************************************
If I disconnect /dev/hde the box boots normally and the above console
output is reflected in dmesg, except for these two lines:
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc400-0xc407, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xc408-0xc40f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
Now the 5-IDE configuration works perfectly in LM7.2, eDesktop2.4 and
Win98.
I'd like some assurance that it *will* work in 8.0 final - what think you,
Pixel?
