So, I put together another machine with a spare Intel 845GBVL motherboard, which also has the 845G chipset. IDE and DMA seem to work when running 2420pre5ac1, but no DMA in 2420pre5. Now on the other hand the Gigabyte (845G chipset) works with 2420pre5 (DMA, ide-scsi) but no success with 2420pre5ac1. In looking at the lspci's of both boards, I noticed a difference. I put excerpts below along with links to full dmesg/lspci. Bizarre and wierdness sums it up. Which is the real 845G? Which machine do I dropkick? ;) Tony ****Intel board: 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 24cb (rev 01) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP]) Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 5247 Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- SERR- [size=8] Region 1: I/O ports at [size=4] Region 2: I/O ports at [size=8] Region 3: I/O ports at [size=4] Region 4: I/O ports at ffa0 [size=16] Region 5: Memory at 20000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=1K] ****Gigabyte board (Award BIOS): 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 24cb (rev 01) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP]) Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 24c2 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- SERR-
