2.5.43 and the VIA vt8233 IDE controller.
I am suspecting something is amist with the via controller code in 2.5.43, because my promise controller goes through the same routines just fine. I started to try to back trace everything to hunt down the culperate myself, but alas, I couldn't find the cause. So if anyone can give me a hand here, I would be very grateful. What follows is the bottom snippet of kernel output. If you require anything further, let me know I will send it.

Just a small addendum to this post I made yesterday, I took the VIA IDE controller code out of the kernel and it booted just fine. And again, my Promise RAID controller was seen just fine by the kernel, so I am leaning even more toward a problem in the VIA driver.
