Bug#275910: kernel-imege-2.4.26-1-686 hangs on boot because of DMA - error
Package: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686
Version: 2.4.26-6
After I installed this Kernel-Image on this System:
- Pentium 3 - 800MHz
- VIA-Apollo MVP Chipset
- 448MB SD-RAM
- 82Cxxx IDE-Controller
- Seagate 4,6 GB Harddisk
the dmesg reported a "late registration of driver".
At the init step "calculating module depencies" occured an
ide_dma_timeout 0x20 error and a kernel panic "attemp to kill init".
I've seen, the VIA82Cxxx driver is loaded as a module.
I've got the system to boot by adding "append="ide=nodma" " to the lilo.conf
and re-enabling DMA by an init - script with
"hdparm -c1 -d1 -k1 -X66 /dev/hda".
But this might not be the finest solution.
I thought Debain never tries to enable DMA on boot, so I'm confused what
happened here.

Steffen Ille
