Some updates: recompiled the kernels without the VIA driver (actually, compiled as a module but not loaded).
With 2.4.27, I don't have the CRC errors anymore, though I can't get DMA to work (is because I load the generic PCI driver afterwards?). With 2.6.18, I get this: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) and then it's stalled. Nothing more happens. I posted the content of my /boot/grub/menu.lst file here: http://www-etud.iro.umontreal.ca/~duranlef/linux-config/ Everything seems ok to me. Anybody has any more hints? -- Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
