i am not having any luck from any of the mm releases above 2.6.7-rc3-mm2... all kernels result in a kernel panic unable to open the root filesystem on the via sata controller. i have successfully booted 2.6.7-bk1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ... starting at 6 the drive changes from being seen as hdg to sdb as it should be seen (i am using a asus-sk8v mainboard) since the sata driver is taking controll of the device rather then the via-ide driver. 2.6.7-bk8 kernel panics again unable to find the filesystem... bk9 and bk10 again work.[...]
i am not sure the source for the mm3 patch but it would appear to be bk8...lol
both bk8 and mm1,2,3 pause for a terribly long time to determine the status of the drives attached to the via-sata controller after which the kernel eventually moves on to end in a panic. sometimes i get a usb error line just after the panic then the system locks.
CC me if you can and i will be glad to provide anything further that i can or test what ever you like to resolve/improve this.
