problems with ALi M5229 (rev c4) on a compaq evo n1005v
hi there,
a few days ago i bought a new notebook, a compaq evo n1005v. while
installing linux i had the following problem:
when booting kernel 2.4.19 dma support was always disabled. i tried to
use the module ali15x3 but the system didn't boot with it. then i read
some mailinglists and patched the kernel to 2.4.19-ac4. now the kernel
enables dma support but hangs when trying to check the partitions. i put
the kernel log and the output of lspci into this mail. perhaps some of
you see more in these lines then i do. if you need more information feel
free to ask. i don't know what to do now but a notebook without dma
support is not very exciting.
kernel log of 2.4.19 without ali15x3:
