The problem is called Andre Hedrick, a guy who is talking in miracles, but seems to be unable to fix either the issues with: - the single TX4 with multiple PDC20270 nor: - multiple TX2 with PDC20268 or at least ignores further communication on that problems, if you don't use some magic storage peoples language.(*) TM in a parallel universe, not too far from here... Most other kernel guys prefer SCSI or simple IDE solutions. > Please tell how you got IDE3-4 working and if you are up and running > satisfactory. Nope. In one board, I got two TX2 running fine. In different other boards (tyan thunder dual athlon), only a single TX2 is working fine. (System crashed shortly after IDE driver init in above mentioned combinations. BTW: This is a 2 way communication problem: - Andre ignores bugging user requests to some extend - He gets ignored by leading kernel hackers to some extend both based on (*) One can only hope, that Andre gets his bablefish running, and using it then to communicate with the rest of _this_ universe. > > Rgds > > Henrik Cheers, Hans-Peter _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
