But 2.6.7 was the las kernel that was able to bring hpt372 up. I dont need to boot from that device but my storage HDDs are on its line. What I can see from the error is this, although there is quite more above that. Screen begins with: Process swapper (pid: 1, threadinfo=dffc1000 task=dffc0a40) Stack: c0311375... Call Trace: [] hpt372_tune_chipset+0xd5/0x160 next in call trace are more ide and htp related things connected to the stack numbers Code: ff 85 c0 ba... and more of 2 bit code <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! and thats the point where I have to go with the reset button and be happy my 2.6.7 still exists :/ There were added three patches to the sources described in here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.8 just search the changelog for "hpt" and you'll find. is it possible to undo that patches? at least one of them has to cause the errors... I tried the Highpoint Own linux sources but when i modprobe them there is write errors and it takes more than 5 minutes to load the first hdd in line and by the second one the driver gives up trying. thanks for reading
