TYan K7 Thunder: AMD-760 MP support
Quoted 1 line
From what I've seen in the 2.4-2 kernel (RH 7.1 stock kernel), the
AMD-760 MP chipset is not directly supported. It looks as though the Host bridge, PCI bridge, ISA bridge, IDE, and AGP all have different ID's than what the drivers are looking for, and since they don't match a known AMD ID, they fall back to generic support, which works OK for some things (like AGP), but I suspect that my ATA100 is not fully functional and I can't access the Winbond chip through the ISA bridge (the SMBus is not detected).
NOTE: Looking at AMDs Rev. documents, the current version of the chipset probably has different IDs than pre-production boards did. My chips are (fortunately, because the previous versions had non-functional AGP and other issues) the newest release as per their documentation.
Do the newer kernel releases support the 760 MP chipset? Will they anytime soon? (If not I will see if I can put it in myself.)
Thanks,
PGA

There is better support in 2.4.7 (especially IDE) but there is not complete support.
I don't know of anyone planning on finishing up any the pieces so feel free.

Grr. I lied. There is code on linux-ide.org that contains a native ide driver. I thought I saw it in 2.4.7 but I was seeing things.

2.4.7ac should be up to date on it
I guess it's time to upgrade then and go from there.
That means the Kernel docs. and metrics on my server will be going down while I do it. (I notice it's been getting a lot of use).
