kernel bug and reportbug bug
I had a successful install of slackware 13.0 on my nVidia CK804 Serial ATA
drive. Before doing so, I had a failed install of debian on that drive
with debian causing much banging of the drive before throwing drive
detection failed message and dropping me into media change dialog. Of
course, the cd door wouldn't open so doing alt-f2 allowed me to eject but
dropping back to alt-f1 I'm back to the media change dialog where the same
disk as is already in the cd drive is being requested. I can't break out
to main menu so can't adjust down to low priority messages or turn on
debugging logs either. Finally I can't get my local version of reportbug
to connect to the server either. I was told I ought to file a bug against
the debian kernel since the drivers my disk needs are in the kernel but
for some reason don't work. This is the lspci -v output from slackware
13.0 too.
> 00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 IDE (rev a2)
Kernel driver in use: AMD_IDE
> 00:07.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev a3)
> 00:08.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev a3)
Has anyone else experienced similar problems with this drive and do any
fixes or workarounds exist for it yet?
