This sounds exactly like the trouble I initially had on my AMD machine. It turned out there is a bios bug and it is highly sensitive to how the SATA is configured, and whether in ACHI or native IDE mode. I also found it necessary to remove power to clear nvram or memory or something which seemed to maintain state unless power was removed. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

(though it's hard telling, since there are many things that happen between the memory line and version ... time.) here's what i know so far 1. the typical warning about a spurious ipi (inter-processor interrupt) on reboot is missing. cpu0: lapicerror: 0x00000000 i don't know what that means yet. 2. compiling sdata out of the kernel results in proper booting. rebooting after the ide interface has been touched is fatal, even if ide is compiled out of the reboot kernel. 3. the boot process is started but the machine will lock solid on the first sleep.

Even now, although I can boot with IDE HD connected, I can see no /dev/hd* devices. It may be a matter of BIOS, which behaves very strange, e.g., I must do 'Load Setup Defaults', after disconnecting the SATA disks, otherwise it is not able to find IDE disks at all. It is some version (not up to date) of AMI BIOS. Erik thank you for all you valuable work and help, wishing you a great day! Peter. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
