OK, I've posted the following: GOOD WORKING CONFIG http://phildev.net/config-working GOOD WORKING DMESG http://phildev.net/dmesg-working NON WORKING CONFIG http://phildev.net/config-bad NON WORKING DMESG http://phildev.net/dmesg-bad As a recap... For the non-working config, when I boot, the onboard VIA is recognized by the generic IDE driver, and then I did the dmesg, and then I modprobed CMD64X and it **reasigned** ide0 and ide1 to the PCI IDE card's chains and the original ide0 and ide1 disappeared, I therefore lost my hard drive, and the machine becomes unresponsive. I think that **might** be a bug in the CMD64X driver? If I can provide more info, please let me know. I've kept the other kernel around so that I may boot into it if need be. And as I said before, compiling hte VIA and CMD drivers both into the works fine on my machine, and I appreciate help getting that working, but I would like to either understand the above behavior, or know its a bug, or... Thanks again for all your help. It really is much appreciated. -- Phil Dibowitz phil@ipom.com Freeware and Technical Pages Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 - 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/
