After adding printk calls to
alim15x3.c, it seems to hang during thepci_write_config_byte(isa_dev, 0x79, tmpbyte | 0x02)call on line 588.Does it work if you comemtn that line out ?
James> No, if the line is commented out I get:
James> hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } James> hda: drive not ready for command
I ran into this as well under various kernels including 2.4.18. Try adding:
append="idebus=50"
to the lilo stanza for your kernel.
It seems even after I amputated the offending "write" that causes the lockup, the bus speed was being set to 33MHz instead of 50Mhz. The above solved the problem for me.
I don't need to specifically set idebus in the 2.5.7 version of the driver so I assume something has been corrected in more recent releases.
For anyone else trying to configure the pcg-c1mrx or pcg-c1mv, I'm updating linux configuration document as I work through the setup of the various devices:

This worked for me as well -- interesting.

Good information there. Oddly enough, I don't need to specify the pci=conf2, though.
Thanks to everyone for the speedy assistance!
