Knock wood. Well with all the fun and the mind bendiness of the results of my earlier tests I thought that there might be a slim chance that something got buggered up with the lifetime of patching that particular kernel tree got on my system and since rc4 was out I decided to start afresh. I untarred 2.6.5, patched to 2.6.9-rc4, turned on the PCI debugging as per request, compiled and rebooted. End result? PDC20267: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0d.0 IRQ for 0000:00:0d.0:0 -> PIRQ 60, mask 0ef8, excl 0000 -> newirq=11 -> got IRQ 11 PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:0d.0 PDC20267: chipset revision 2 PDC20267: 100% native mode on irq 11 PDC20267: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary PCI Mode Secondary PCI Mode. ide2: BM-DMA at 0x1080-0x1087, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio ide3: BM-DMA at 0x1088-0x108f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio Probing IDE interface ide2... hde: IC35L060AVV207-0, ATA DISK drive ide2 at 0x10f0-0x10f7,0x1802 on irq 11 Probing IDE interface ide3... hdh: ST3200822A, ATA DISK drive ide3 at 0x10f8-0x10ff,0x1806 on irq 11 It worked! Now thinking that I may have just right royally buggered up I compiled rc3 again, starting from a totally fresh tree like I did with rc4 and the problem was still there. No promise card. (phew... kinda) So basically, something got fixed between rc3 and rc4. Personally, I call shenanigans. -- Red herrings strewn hither and yon. - 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/
