Hi all,
Tried out the new ATAPI driver last night with a CVS from a couple of
days ago. All detected ok on boot but then I got a message roughly like:
timeout waiting for command
and then I get:
ata0: resetting devices ..
The system completely hung solid then.
Firstly a question. Is there anyway of getting the log of what happens on
booting before you actually get to starting init? (I'm assuming only via some
sort of serial console to another PC?)
Next I have 4 hardrives and a CDROM in this - I disconnected the cdrom, and
also took out a Promise FASTTRAK66 controller which had 2 harddrives in it -
so I am using only a single controller on an ASUS MEW board which has an
i810-DC100 chipset in it. The hard-drives are Western Digital 18Gb
7200rpm. So the problem has something to do with the motherboard and/or
drives - BIOS for the motherboard is at rev1.0006 - the latest.
The machine works flawlessly with the old wd driver - so what are the main
differences between the old wd and the new ATA stuff - and is there a
compatiblity mode in the new ATAPI driver I can set for specific interfaces?
Relevent SNIP from config-file is as follows:
# ATA and ATAPI devices
device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14
device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15
device ata2
device atadisk0 # ATA disk drives
device atapicd0 # ATAPI CDROM drives
#device atapifd0 # ATAPI floppy drives
#device atapist0 # ATAPI tape drives
options ATA_STATIC_ID #Static device numbering
