X-Debian-Message: Spam detection
I have a Future Domain IDE-16032 2 channel IDE controller. Normally I have one
hdd on the motherboard controller, and one on the secondary channel of the FD
controller. The FD controller is faster than the motherboard controller, but I
do not know how to disable the motherboard controller, so that is why I do it
like that.
If I try and boot linux off the hard disk using the loadlin stuff, it stops
just after it has decided it can't initialise a SCSI card and gives a repeated
error, with ever increasing <sector number> :
end_request: i/o error, dev 01:00, sector <sector number>
it doesn't seem to stop, not even after a long time.
I am fairly sure that it is related to this card, because when I connected my
second HDd as slave on my motherboard controller it was absolutely fine.
Why is this, and can I do anything about it?
Thanks,
Frankie
