2.4 Unable to boot on Cyrix box?
Hi.
I have an old recycled box playing firewall for me which stubbornly refuses to run 2.4. 2.2.17,18,19,20 and a handful of -pre* patches have run just fine.
The system just hangs after 2.4 prints out:
SIS5513: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 09
SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x4000-0x4007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0x4008-0x400f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
hda: Maxtor 90320D2, ATA DISK drive
hdb: CD-ROM CDU76E, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
2.2 continues fine. But 2.4 appears to hang here forever. No panic, no keyboard control, C-A-D does nothing.
hda: Maxtor 90320D2, 3079MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=782/128/63 Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Relevant system specs:
Cyrix 233MHz processor
64M PC-100 RAM (1 dimm)
SIS5513 IDE chipset
LSPCI reports: 00:01.1 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems
[SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev d0)
I have the kernel built for a 386, PCI and EISA support enabled (and their respective PNP) all Y, SIS5513 support included in the kernel... What am I missing, here?
More information available if needed.
Thanks in advance,
--Nathan

- Did you try with ide=nodma ?
- I've not yet read the full specs of old SiS IDE chips, but there is a bug for ATA66 and 33 chips in the stock kernel. Try copying http://gyver.homeip.net/sis5513/sis5513-limited.c over your linux/drivers/ide/sis5513.c. It fixes the bug above and will output your IDE Config registers and each change it makes. Please send me the "SIS5513: " lines if you can (I'm interested in cases of failure and success).

Do you have the motherboard model ?

Perhaps correct init code in sis5513.c for your chip. Send me all info requested above and I'll try to sort it out.

The more you send me, the better.

Slack 2.4.5 kernels came up ok on my desktop IIRC -
TXPro MOBO with SiS5513 and Cyrix M2-'PR300' (ie really a 233)
