ATA errors directly after booting the kernel seem to be related to the usage of the fast IRQ tuning parameter "AUTO_EOI". Last night I migrated from my GA586DX (Dualboard, 430HX chipset,PIIX3) 1x P233MMX to a GA686BX (440BX chipset,PIIX4) Celeron300A (both used with the same HPT366 Controller and same disks). Using the old board and AUTO_EOI1 and AUTO_EOI2, everything was stable. Using the new board, I get "waiting for interrupt" errors, and the system freezes while trying to mount the disks (with kernel from 12/03) or the system freeezes before being able to detect the drives (with kernel from 12/20). The solution for me was to recompile the kernel without AUTO_EOI1 and AUTO_EOI2. -- Dieter 'Didi' Rothacker ICQ#3327455 "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."
