Hi all!
I have an abit VP6 mobo with the integrated HPT370 ide-controller.
If I enable ACPI support, and I connect any harddisk to the hpt host, my
system locks up hard during boot while initializing the drive(s) on the
hpt controller (ie. before printing the 'hde:...' line). The hard drive's
led remains lit.
I attached the lspci output if that helps.
I tried the follow releases/branches, all of them locked up:
2.4.18
2.4.19-rc1
2.4.19-pre7 + ide.all.convert.10
2.4.19-pre10-ac2
2.4.19-pre8-jp13
2.4.18-wolk3.5-rc2
If I pass the 'acpi=off' option to the kernel, it does boot but obviously
I don't have acpi support that way :(.
Thanks for any help, I am willing to test any patches!

I have a similar system to yours, but I have drives only on the hpt370
controller. My system boots, but crashes after 5 to 15 minuttes regardless
of usage. (I've posted this to this list on a previous occation.)
My system is running on dual P3-866 cpu's, but I don't think that this is of
any importance to the configuration. I haven't really tried to run any
patches. Do you have any similar problems when running a clean 2.4.18? Or
does your system only freeze?

I haven't tried this. But my system is not exactly freezing, just I cant
access the drives anymore.

If u find anything that works, could you send me a note aswell? Since I've
been wanting to run Linux on my machine for a while now and my systems seems
to preform better when the drives are connected to the HPT370 than the other
internal VIA ide controller. Atleast this is the 'general' feeling I have
after experimenting with a few things under windows 2000 pro.

Mine (ABit VP6, some drives on both controllers) either stops at
"hde:..." at boot or freezes a bit later when ACPI is on with stable
kernels (or -ac ones). Without ACPI it runs pretty well, unless I use
USBnet.

Hi,
my kernel (still 2.4.17-rc2) boots from hde and finds hde and hdg during
bootup.
After the boot-prozess is finished, I can't access the drives anymore.
(I have only /boot on hde1, the rest on scsi-disks).
I will try 2.4.19 if it's finish.
If you find a solution, pls msg me as well, thanks.

Hi,
I tried
2.4.18 + acpi-20020611
and
2.4.18 + acpi-20020611 + pciirq-27
but both of them freeze the same way :(.
I noticed that it is not an immediate freeze though. alt-sysrq-T works for
about 5 seconds... after that, nothing.
If you do think the call traces would do help, I might take time to do
write them down.
