Hi I am not sure how to send a bug report about this because it seems to be in several different kernels from Debian. (maybe it even is not kernel specific but it's grub which is doing something wrong.)
When i replaced my ATA DVD writer with an SATA DVD writer and placed another ATA harddisk on the connector, i got in my selfbuild kernel(*1 an OOPS. This made me decide to re-install debian. I downloaded a daily-build netinstall CD from Lenny and wanted to convert that to Sid - because that is my normal debian 'outfit' on the computer. With the installation everything went smoothly, but when i rebooted the computer crashed/hanged on booting the kernel. The message on the screen was: -- PCI:BIOS BUG: MCFG area at f0000000 is not E820-reserved PCI: Not using MMCONFIG PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for 0000:01:00 Loading , please wait.... ide0: I/O resource 0x3F6-0x3F6 not free. ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe ide1: I/O resource 0x376-0x376 not free. ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe -- hang So i tried an earlier netinstall CD which i had laying around. But that one did not recognize my two ATA disks at all but only showed the SATA disk. (maybe i had to include the generic_ide option or so). But it seemed i could not use Debian anymore. I tried with other distributions and there was nothing wrong with that. I could install Fedora 7 (2.6.21 kernel) on the same disk and use, I can install Ubuntu 7.10 (2.6.22 kernel) on the same disk and use. But only Debian give me this strange error message. I even tried to download the ubuntu kernel and in install this on debian (in a chroot; which i set up like people do when they install Gentoo (- mounted /proc too)) ... Also chrooted i build my own kernel again from pre-configured 2.6.22.6 sources which i used before which gave me the OOPS to begin with. But also this kernel did not change the problem i was experiencing (*1. I build my own kernel to remove the option of PARA_VIRT because that did keep me from installing the NVIDIA driver which i wanted to use to enable compiz. I did read somewhere that the "only GPL modules can be loaded" restriction was removed with the 2.6.6.22 kernel thanks for reading and i hope some people can help me back on debian, because this is and stays my favorite distribution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
