How do I compile ATA/66 support into the kernel? And what version of the
kernel should I use? The slink boot floppies have 2.0.36 and this kernel
is not currently recogonizing my ide2 and ide3 interfaces.
Here is my setup:
Abit BP6 MoBo.
128M PC100 SDRAM
2 * 466MHz Celeron PPGA
ide0 (ATA/33) Matshita ATAPI CDROM (master)
ide1 (ATA/33) nothing
ide2 (ATA/66) Western Digital 20.5 G HDD (supports ATA/66)
ide3 (ATA/66) nothing
scsi0 Tekram 390U Ultra Wide II card (ncr53x875E)
sda Quantum 9.1G HDD
Another strange problem I have been having. When I install slink (on
/dev/sda) the ncr SCSI controller is detected fine. No SCSI errors even
when doing a lot of disk I/O. But the kernel is UP. When I compile a
custom kernel (2.0.36 or 2.2.13) for SMP with support for ncr53c8xx and /
or sym53c8xx I keep getting time-out messages from the scsi driver like the
following whenever I do a lot of disk I/O (like an apt-get upgrade pointing
to potato):
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 6167, scsi0, channel 0, id 0,
lun 0 Write (10) 00 00 8f f7 27 00 00 02 00
