Yes, you are absolutely right. Your hardware doesn't require libata, so you see devices in "non scsi" notation. As for me, my box requires ata_piix module not only for sata but for pata devices as well. Till I don't see your messages I thought that _all_ pata devices are working through libata in 2.6.23.1, that's why I was so surprised when you post your configuration. Sorry for confusing. I found the reason of crashes - it's my own addition. I added it to be able to load my box without usb-drive. It may be useful but I haven't checked in the following code, because the executing of it crashes kernel every time. PS. construction [ -n "$CONFIG_SRC_LIST" ] doesn't work for some reason. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- diff -aur ./linuxrc.orig ./linuxrc --- ./linuxrc.orig 2007-10-25 15:37:57.000000000 +0400 +++ ./linuxrc 2007-11-01 12:49:21.000000000 +0300 @@ -231,6 +223,17 @@ CDROMS=$(grep -i "drive name" /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info) +if echo $CONFIG_SRC_LIST | grep "/dev" > /dev/null ; then + echo "Devices: $CONFIG_SRC_LIST" +else + echo "No devices were found" + echo -n "Would you like to probe for SCSI/ATA controllers now?" + if ask_yes_no ; then + /probe_all_scsi_modules + fi +fi + + # search for configuration information DL_CONFIG_SOURCE="" DL_CONFIG_FILE="" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Sincerely Serge Leschinsky |
