I am trying to downgrade, to see if an issue with the 2.4.x series
kernel is also present in the 2.2.x series. I have successfully
downloaded, compiled and installed a 2.2.20 kernel and added the
necessary lines to lilo in order to have it as an option and to boot
into the same root partition as the 2.4.8 uses.
I am getting an error when I boot up 2.2.20. Right after the partition
check it says this:
Invalid session number or type of track
hda: lost interrupt
and keeps repeating hda: lost interrupt once every ten seconds or so
until I reboot. 2.4.8 boots up just fine. I've done a search of the
unofficial archives and only found solutions to problems regarding CD
images and such.
Does anyone know what the problem is, and can anyone give me some help?
Is it even possible to downgrade like this?
Thanks.

Now that looks strange. Show some context around this line.

That looks stranger. I'd suggest to try Andre's IDE patch from any
kernel.org mirror, /pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick, but it seems
there's no 2.2.20 ide patch yet.

I've copied pretty much every thing that I could:
hda: Maxtor 5T030h3, ATA DISK drive
hdb: ST320413A, ATA DISK drive
hdc: QUANTUM FIREBALL SE2.1A, ATA DISK drive
hdd: FX240S, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7, 0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-px177, 0x376 on irq 15
hda: Maxtor 5T030h3, 29311MB w/2048kB Cache, CHS=59554/16/63
hdb: ST320413A, 19092MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=38792/16/63, (U)DMA
hdc: QUANTUM FIREBALL SE2.1A, 2014MB w/80kB Cache, CHS=4092/16/63,
(U)DMA
hdd: ATAPI 24x CD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.11
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC0 is a post-1991 82077
tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99 [email protected]
eth0: ADMtek Centaur-P rev17 at 0xe400, 00:60:08:ED:34:1A, IRQ 5.
partitoin check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 hda6 hda7 >
hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3
hdc: [PTBL] [1023/64/63] hdc1 hdc2
Invalid session # or type of track
hda: lost interrupt
hda: lost interrupt
hda: lost interrupt
...
Compairing with dmesg from the current 2.4.16 kernel (I was using 2.4.8)
shows most lines to be nearly identical to what I've got written above.
Particularly, the partition check is exact, and so are the CHS values
for each of the drives. Possibly of note is that the eth0 address listed
in dmesg is 0xf0800000, not the 0xe400 shown above. The rest of the
differences are mostly driver revision numbers and reformatting of
lines.

You can get my unofficial port of Hedrick's 2.2.19 IDE patch to 2.2.20

Thanks! Your patch did the trick.
