CentOS v4.5 and Intel 965/G33BY chipsets - PATA support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]




Greetings CentOS users,

I have run into a hardware issue with the Intel 965 chipset. It appears that the latest kernel doesn't support the Marvell PATA controller. I can kickstart the computer, but after the OS is installed the DVD drive can't be accessed.

There are patches against 2.6.18 for the Marvell PATA controller here:
 http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/16/157

There is bug report ported for RHEL 5.0 and I assume this will apply to CentOS 5 also.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237372

What are my options other that to try to patch the current kernel (2.6.9-55.0.2.EL) ?

We have a lab of 24 computer to push out before the start of the term (Sept 5/07) ... joy joy

Thanks
Paul
