But, what about the case when I built in the generic driver, but made
the CMD649 driver a module, and loaded it after boot. That shouldn't
have *changed* what ide0 and ide1 are, right? I had ide0 and ide1
assigned, did a modprobe, and CMD649 changed what ide0 adn ide1 where,
and then forgot about the previous ones.. like all of a sudden it told
the generic driver "no, no, you were wrong, there's no VIA chipset here,
go back to sleep."
Hmm. please send me dmesg.
OK,
I've posted the following:
GOOD WORKING CONFIG
http://phildev.net/config-working
GOOD WORKING DMESG
http://phildev.net/dmesg-working
NON WORKING CONFIG
http://phildev.net/config-bad
NON WORKING DMESG
http://phildev.net/dmesg-bad
As a recap...
For the non-working config, when I boot, the onboard VIA is recognized
by the generic IDE driver, and then I did the dmesg, and then I
modprobed CMD64X and it **reasigned** ide0 and ide1 to the PCI IDE
card's chains and the original ide0 and ide1 disappeared, I therefore
lost my hard drive, and the machine becomes unresponsive. I think that
**might** be a bug in the CMD64X driver?
If I can provide more info, please let me know. I've kept the other
kernel around so that I may boot into it if need be.
And as I said before, compiling hte VIA and CMD drivers both into the
works fine on my machine, and I appreciate help getting that working,
but I would like to either understand the above behavior, or know its a
bug, or...
Thanks again for all your help. It really is much appreciated.
