Hi, I have tried to boot a 2.6.24 kernel on my 1 GHz Coppermine / 512 MB RAM PC. (This is without the nmi_watchdog=1 option.) However, the ATA layer is failing to initialise: Linux version 2.6.24 (chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 2 22:21:52 GMT 2008 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000001ffeb000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000001ffeb000 - 000000001ffef000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000001ffef000 - 000000001ffff000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 000000001ffff000 - 0000000020000000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec10000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fff80000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 511MB LOWMEM available.
