That's where all of the ide bug fixing is being done. 1)Apply ac patch - cd ~ - wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.4/2.4.20/patch-2.4.20-ac1.bz2 - cd /usr/src/ - cp -a linux-2.4.20 linux-2.4.20-ac1 - cd linux-2.4.20-ac1 - bzcat ~/patch-2.4.20-ac1.bz2| patch -p1 2)Compile and install kernel - cp .config 1 - make mrproper - cp 1 .config - make oldconfig - make dep bzImage modules modules_install install 3)If you still have issues send an email to the list with 2.4.20-ac1 in the subject. Include: - ide section of dmesg - output of "hdparm -vi " - results of "hdparm -d 1 " including any thing that shows up in dmesg afterwards. > > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
