Do you know if support for any IDE controllers was dropped in 2.4 vs
2.2? I can run kernel 2.2 fine on my server but when I tried to
update to 2.4 (standard debian kernel image) it gave me a whole
crapload of fsck errors on boot. Booting kernel 2.2 I could after
much pain fix most of them. So it seems that something in 2.4 is
corrupting my filesystem.. I can't remember the exact version I
tried and don't really want to try again but it was 2.4.16 or 17.
How could I find out what IDE controller I have and whether it's
supported? I have some crappy no name board in that server.
Thanks
Leo
