I have it working with kernel 2.4, but would like to migrate it to 2.6. However, when I use 2.6.0-test9 (I have tried mm2, 'vanilla' and bk17), I end up with a boot time crash. This is primarily to do with the initialisation of the IDE controller, as far as I can see. I have included the kernel message below. As I mentioned before, this works fine on 2.4.22... Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong...? Cheers, Dan Craig. The boot error is as follows: ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx ALI15X3: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0e.0 ALI15X3: chipset revision 197 ALI15X3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000020 printing eip: c0378a69 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010046 EIP is at init_chipset_ali15x3+0x13e/0x1c1 eax: 00000000 ebx: c133fc00 ecx: 80007048 edx: cfea1ef3 esi: 00000246 edi: c12e4800 ebp: cfea1f00 esp: cfea1ee0 ds: 007b es: 007b ss:0068 Process swapper (pid: 1, threadinfo=cfea0000 task=128f900) Stack: c1346980 00000070 00000079 cfea1ef3 c1051f04 00000000 00000001 cfea1f4c cfea1f34 c0254a6d c133fc00 c0300d1c 00000001 cfea1f24 c020e343 00000001 0000ffff 00000000 c03aaa00 c133fc00 00000000 cfea1f54 c0254ab6 cfea1f4c Call Trace: [] do_ide_setup_pci_device+0x159/0x178 [] pci_find_subsys+0x81/0xef [] ide_setup_pci_device+0x2a/0x81 [] alim15x3_init_one+0x45/0x5c [] ide_scan_pcidev+0x5c/0x6e [] ide_scan_pcibus+0x40/0xbb [] probe_for_hwifs+0x13/0x17 [] ide_init_builtin_drivers+0x8/0x13 [] ide_init+0x48/0x58 [] do_initcalls+0x2b/0x98 [] init_workqueues+0x12/0x2a [] init+0x33/0x139 [] init+0x0/0x139 [] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb Code: 8b 50 20 89 54 24 04 8b 40 10 89 04 24 e8 21 32 e9 ff 0f b6 <0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! - 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/
