Hi all, Tried out the new ATAPI driver last night with a CVS from a couple of days ago. All detected ok on boot but then I got a message roughly like: timeout waiting for command and then I get: ata0: resetting devices .. The system completely hung solid then. Firstly a question. Is there anyway of getting the log of what happens on booting before you actually get to starting init? (I'm assuming only via some sort of serial console to another PC?) Next I have 4 hardrives and a CDROM in this - I disconnected the cdrom, and also took out a Promise FASTTRAK66 controller which had 2 harddrives in it - so I am using only a single controller on an ASUS MEW board which has an i810-DC100 chipset in it. The hard-drives are Western Digital 18Gb 7200rpm. So the problem has something to do with the motherboard and/or drives - BIOS for the motherboard is at rev1.0006 - the latest. The machine works flawlessly with the old wd driver - so what are the main differences between the old wd and the new ATA stuff - and is there a compatiblity mode in the new ATAPI driver I can set for specific interfaces? Relevent SNIP from config-file is as follows: # ATA and ATAPI devices device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 device ata2 device atadisk0 # ATA disk drives device atapicd0 # ATAPI CDROM drives #device atapifd0 # ATAPI floppy drives #device atapist0 # ATAPI tape drives options ATA_STATIC_ID #Static device numbering -- PGP Fingerprint16 = D4 D9 ED B4 5F 07 70 36 14 E2 02 01 DE 19 69 52 ------- S Maslov a.k.a.
