Hi,
I'm getting trouble to upgrade from 2.4.27 to 2.4.28 since kernel oopses on
start. That seems to be related to libata and my SATA configuration. I'm
using a plain vanilla kernel (no patches).
I have a Supermicro P4SCI with a PIV (SATA chipset ICH5), latest bios (1.1),
one disk (SATA), BIOS configured to SATA Only (but enhanced mode does the
same. Same kernel configuration used to work with 2.4.27 with the libata
patch. I'm not sure I'm supposed to apply the new 2.4.28 libata patch but
anyway with or without it kernel crashes about here :
