(This a > good thing or a bad thing? :) Thats an interesting question in itself. It does seem to indicate the problem is DMA tuning or DMA related and not IRQ routing - which is good as of itself. > Attachment [1] is a successful boot with the old ata subsystem using the > IT8212. For the next trick set mwdma_mask = 0x07 but leave UDMA off and see what happens. Then try with udma_mask = 0x02 which should force the 50MHz clock on not the 66MHz clock just in case its clock related. How much RAM do you have ?
