Subject: Hang with Promise Ultra100 TX2 (kernel 2.4.18)

I have to use kernel 2.4.18 because I need to install KURT (realtime
linux) with it. However, my system hangs on boot with the following
message:

PDC20268: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PDC20268: ROM enabled at 0xff900000
ide2: BM-DMA at 0xfcc0-0xfcc7, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
ide3: BM-DMA at 0xfcc8-0xfccf, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio

I have tried tricks I could find in through google, like setting boot
parameters "hde=4866,255,63 hde=noprobe hdg=24321,255,163 hdg=noprobe".
But it didn't work.

Could anybody provide some clue about how to fix this problem? Thanks
very much.

I think there has been a lot of bug fixes in the latest 2.4 kernels for
promise cards.

I'm running promise ultra133-tx2 successfully with 2.4.22 kernel.

Merge the promise driver from later 2.4.x kernels to 2.4.18 and recompile?

When I used 2.4.18 I had Andre's ide.2.4.18-rc1.02152002.patch.bz2
applied.

Thanks for replying. Can you explain a little bit where to get the driver for latest versions? Thanks.

Sorry not to mention. I have already applied the patch before I asked
this question. Any further suggestions? Thanks.

Copy the promise driver from 2.4.24 kernel to 2.4.18 kernel, and hope it
works :)
