https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111151 --- Comment #2 from Andreas E <andi3@xxxxxxx> --- Alan, thanks a lot for your input. First of all...this stuff DOES work in Kernel 2.6.xx, go figure. I can prove that because I made a mistake yesterday by cleaning up my root partition a little bit too thoroughly. Well, both the empty (!) /run and /usr dirs must exist on the partition to hook in /usr at bootup. Thought either upstart or systemd would be as intelligent as creating either of them when not there. Bleh. (PEBKAC: find . -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -xtype l -empty -delete) ;-)) To cut it short, I had to fix this by booting off an old CD-based 2.6.xx kernel "mini linux", so I could watch the startup process AND ... ! amd74xx, the ancient IDE controller kernel module compiled in there, actaually *DID* initialize the drive properly. (Well, to make it tougher for testing, I intentionally booted off an _IDE_ CD-ROM drive! If amd74xx had shown the same behavior as pata_amd, it would've choked _while_ booting up the old linux!) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
