There are some EIDE disk controllers, whose chipsets are faulty or do not follow the standards. Some features like e.g. Busmaster DMA or similar are not correctly implemented either. This concerns some of the onboard controllers on motherboards, partially integrated in the PCI chipset. Here is a list of the controller chipsets (probably not complete):
CMD640, RZ1000, DTC-2278, HT 6560B, QDI QD6580, UMC 8672, ALI M1439
and ALI M1445, Promise DC4030, Intel FX430
Please read in any case pages 3-3 or 3-5 in the S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2 handbook both of them at the bottom (only available in german). Some chipsets have problems with DMA (Busmaster DMA), others cannot detect or serve the second IDE canal either. Besides, many controllers have problems to serialise the enquiries.
Please take the installation kernel IDE-3
or IDE-7
. There, kernel support for the above
mentioned chipsets is installed. Use (as long as the chipsets is
known) the corresponding kernel parameter (handbook).
Should it still not run, please read the
kernel boot messages through. The corresponding hint to the
appeared problem should be there in ide0:
.
cat /proc/pci). Possibly you will find a corresponding note in the motherboard's handbook too.
