I've got an Asus CD-S400 hanging off the secondary controller as the primary device. CD1 on 4.3 boots successfully, but CD1 on 4.4 hangs immediately after detecting plip0. On the 4.3 boot, the line straight after plip0 is acd0. Disabling both IDE channels in the BIOS doesn't help, nor does removing the CDROM drive, nor does removing ata0 and ata1 from the userconfig screen. I'm looking at building custom boot floppies just to get rid of the ata subsystem in the hope that this will fix it. The P2B-S connects to a RAID tower using the onboard SCSI, so the CDROM isn't really necessary, but I still can't boot the sucker with or without it. When I disable the IDE channels using the BIOS and boot from the 4.4 boot floppies, the probe hangs after the following line: atapci0: port 0xd800-0xd80f at device 4.1 on pci0 Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to get 4.4-stable running on 8 of these things ASAP.
