Hi,
I'm running the latest (BK head) 2.5 kernel (up to, and including
IDE-clean 100), on my VAIO C1VE laptop:
00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)
With PIIX chipset support & autodma, the kernel halts right after the
boot, while searching init on the disk. Must happen somewhere with
interrupts disabled (no sysrq, no kbd leds etc).
Disabling PIIX chipset support & dma makes the kernel survive for
some longer time (between 10 seconds and 2-3 minutes), but it will
eventually halt, this time CORRUPTING THE DATA!
Right now I'm trying to recover my disk partition...
Stelian, more and more enclined to switch to the IDE 2.4 back^H^H^H^Hforward
port.

See Bart's comments in separate post.

You are *out of your fscking mind*.
Why are you running 2.5 on a machine that has anything worth
recovering on it? IDE or SCSI, no matter.
Standard 2.5 equipment includes a CD drive with the install disk(s)
for $DISTRO ready to drop into the drive as soon as anything looks
bad. Advanced 2.5 requires a duplicate hard disk on a removable drive
caddy :)

Yup, learn hints by heart ;-).

I somehow managed to go through 2.5 without any recovering
(even doing ATA and block layer development), call me lucky ;-).
Few hints on running 2.5 on production machine:
- don't run every new kernel revision, wait for some time and read lkml
(if there are any problems noticed)
- even better wait for next revision and read changelog,
decide if you can apply now previous revision
- don't run default IDE, get 2.4 IDE patch
- be careful, double thinking mode on :-)
Regards

I use the latter, and dd to recover...

I do have some taste for the risk yes. However, until now I haven't
had any problems with 2.5 kernels.

This is my laptop and I occasionnally use it to do kernel related
development. However, since I use this laptop for disconnected
work too (like reading mail etc).
I do have backups however, so the risk is rather limited.

Just to add my two ?re to this; I've ran 2.5.27-dj2 since it came out,
both with ide as modules and compiled in with no ill effects. For the
record here's the ide bits from the boot log:
