Mmm.. the current 7042 support is somewhat experimental, and definitely temperamental. Over the next few months I expect to be involved in fixing all of that, bringing it up to fully supported in all modes. The reference board I have here with a 7042 seems to work just fine for me, so I really should get hold of one like yours. But they're not cheap (~$150 shipped). Anyway. Unless somebody else fixes it in the meanwhile, stay tuned for full support in the December/January timeframe. -ml > I write this from memory, but the numbers are correct, sorry if they do > not EXACTLY match. > > The disk drives do work, but they are dog slow, and when I try to boot > my ubuntu 7.10 system with this driver, it hangs during boot, right > after it tried to enable my software raid volumes. > > I have tried both the 'stock' ubuntu kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (I guess > that won't mean much) but I also tried vanilla kernel.org 2.6.23.1 > > I realize that this is probably too little information, and I'm very > willing to provide any other information that you might want. > I'd love to provide a complete boot log, but my @#$@#%@#$ motherboard > does not have a serial interface.
