Hi, I have an Abit KG7 RAID mb with an hpt370 chip onboard and a RAID 0 array. A few weeks ago, I've installed Debian 3.0 with disks bf2.4 and it worked with problems. The most important of this problems was that it was appearing that message continously :
hde: dma_intr: error=0x84 {DriveStatusError BadCRC} (you can change hde by hdg)
hde: dma_intr: error=0x51 {DriveReadySeekComplete Error} (you can change hde by hdg)
Next, I decided to update the kernel (It was using 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel) to 2.4.19. I've compiled with those options
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202X - PROMISE PDC202{46|62|65|67|68} support
CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE - Special FastTrak Feature
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT366 - HPT366/368/370 chipset support
But when I reboot it says me :
/ Please append a correct "root=" boot option/
/ Kernel panic : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 72:03/
and I think my lilo is good (root = d0p3).
I´ll appreciate any sugerence to start my new kernel (¿any other options to compile?) , repair my old one (I can start it yet) or download any other stable kernel that works with my controler. thanks
Turn off the 'special Fasttrak feature'. It used to do nothing, as far as I could see, but now it causes the kernel to skip/disable Fasttrak cards. Very Bad Thing.
This *might* be something to do with the binary FastTrak driver, I'm not sure, I've never used that hideous POS.
Anyways, please try booting your old kernel, compiling without the 'special FastTrak option' and trying again.
