When built with CONFIG_ALPHA_NAUTILUS, my UP1000's IDE totally fails. It probes the drives ok, on boot, but a logic hang occurs where no more boot progress can be made. All I get are "hda: lost interrupt" messages. I am booting w/ aboot 0.7a from SRM, -without- the srm-as-bootloader kernel config option. These problems go away when using the generic MDK alpha kernel, which is based on Alan's '2.4.4-ac' patchkit, and uses CONFIG_ALPHA_GENERIC. A very similar problem occurs on my new test alpha, a miata. With CONFIG_ALPHA_MIATA, IDE fails with "hda: lost interrupt" as above, but additionally, the keyboard is no longer recognized. Again, with MDK(ac) kernel, things work fine. After wondering for a while what magic was in the 'ac' patchkit, I realized that my build needed CONFIG_ALPHA_GENERIC to work. Tested that theory... sure enough, I can boot 2.4.5-vanilla no problems now. -- Jeff Garzik | Disbelief, that's why you fail. Building 1024 | MandrakeSoft |
