We took the latest kernel (-pa18) and did the changes to the PDC202XX-definitions in pdc202xx.c. But I don't believe that the kernel gets the chance to recognice this change. I think the kernel crashes earlier. We reduced the kernel by the specific drivers. We disabled the following: [ ] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support After compiling wie had these three modules: ide-mod.o ide-probe-mod.o ide-disk.o An insmod ide-mod.o was possible. But after insmod ide-probe-mod the kernel crashes. In some cases we got an output with about 50 pages of memory addresses. At the beginning we got some messages told about the SYM-SCSI-device. Could that be a conflict? We did not succeed to reproduce that and log it. Here my questions: Did You here about anyone to succeed in using an IDE-controller in a HP-RISC-architecture? Do You see a chance to use IDE-disks in future (with some none HP-controller) Do You know about more people who are interrested in what we tried to do? That would be an argument for me to continue experimenting. Thank You Joerg > #define PDC202XX_DEBUG_DRIVE_INFO 0 > #define PDC202XX_DECODE_REGISTER_INFO 0 > > and rebuild the module with that. > > 3) post the console log and "ser pim" output at PDC prompt. -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net
