Hi I'm trying to install rh7.1 on a system which has a VIA vt82c586b UDMA33 IDE controller, with little success. The install proceeds OK, but checking the virtual terminals during the install shows there are various timeout problems with the ide interface. On first bootup the system appears to hang when checking the partitions on hda - ide: assuming 33mhz system speed bus for PIO mode; override with idebus=xx VP_IDE: IDE Controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39 VP_IDE: chipset revision 6 VP_IDE: not 100% native mode; will probe irqs later ide: assuming 33mhz system speed bus for PIO mode; override with idebus=xx VP_IDE: VIA vt82c586b (rev 41) IDE UDMA33 controller on pci00:07.1 ide0: BM-DMA at 0x10c0 - 0x10c7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x10c8 - 0x10cf, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL Ex4.2A, ATA Disk Drive ide0: at 0xf0 - 0x1f7, 0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: 8249472 sectors (4224 mb) w/418KiB cache, CHS=1023/128/63, UDMA(33) Partition check: hda: If I leave it long enough I get a 'lost interrupt' message after the 'hda:' bit. I've tried disabling UDMA in the BIOS, to no avail. Something else is weird about this - when this happens I hear a click from the system, and the monitor goes into power saving mode. I can hit a key on the keyboard to kick it back into life, but it goes off again after about 30 seconds. I can still use the Magic SysRq key, so the hardware isn't hung. I've tried booting the drive in another machine, which doesn't have the VIA chipset, and it boots OK. I've tried searching the net for answers, but only turned up vague suggestions about perhaps it being related to dma, or apic (not enabled in the kernel), or apm. I'm currently rebuilding the 2.4.9-34 kernel rpm to not use PM and APM to see if that makes any difference. Does anyone have any suggestions, or even better, direct experience of this problem?
