Hallo!
A friend's computer has a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP-A Ultra motherboard. This mobo
has the usual 2 ide controllers (VIA), plus 2 more from Promise (PDC20276),
plus 2 SATA connectors (Sil3112).
The problem is that both the Promise and the SATA controllers are loaded
before the VIA ones, and by default the Promise controllers' driver is not
loaded because of a bug that can be solved compiling the kernel
(CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y in kernel .config). If I do so linux won't boot any
more because for example /dev/hde has been moved to /dev/hdf
The following lines are from dmesg output.
Thanks in advance ;)
