Hi all

I have an ASUS P5A board with the ALI M5229 IDE controller, the kernel
(2.6.0-test9) doesn't recognize the partition table (so it cannot but
the root fs of the disk).

I've tried booting with ide0=nodma,notune with the same results.

Also I tried with not including the alim15x3 driver, also the same results.

This problem doesn't happen with a 2.4.17 kernel

Information on the system follows, I got this with the usual kernel: 2.4.17

I'm tring to boot with initramfs so I can check /proc/ide/ali, with no luck...
I successfully include my own rootfs in the kernel but It tries to mount the
root from an IDE dive and not the initramfs I included... anybody know how
to boot from the embedded file system?

suggestions/comments? I'm not sure who is the current mantainer of this
driver these days...

Thanks in advance

Ulisses
