Hi!

I've a very weird problem with my notebook Asus L7300 with modern HD.

Using the provided 2.5" harddisk, an IBM model DARA 6 Gbytes, all works
really fine with 4.5p3 (RELENG_4_5).

Today I tried to put in a 20-Gb Fujitsu MHN2200AT. The BIOS correctly
recognize it as about 20 gigabytes, but when I try to boot from the
4.5-release CD it always hangs just before ata/atapi devices, reporting
something like "too many stray IRQ 10".

It is always reproduceable.

Same CD (4.5-release), same kernel config (default installation kernel,
but tried also disabling near everything in visualconfig), with IBM
DARA the boot works, with Fujitsu's hangs.

Note that the same message (too many IRQ stray) it is present also when
using IBM's, so I don't think it is related to the problem.

Someone has any hint ?

Maybe the new, modern, HD causes different beavhior of the ATA
controller ?


Help! :-)


Many TIA !!
