Upgraded another server today to a post-ATAmk3 kernel, and it too fails to
probe all discs.
System: Dual P3/500 (old Tekram mobo, 440BX I guess), generic Realtek 8169
NIC, Promise Ultra100 TX2 (PDC20268)
The system boots off of an 8GB disc hooked up to the mobo (pri.master).
There's an old CD-ROM hooked up to the mobo also (sec.master). The Promise
card has four Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 disc hooked up (200+200+120+60, all
four using cable select). ACPI is not used (not supported by mobo/bios I
think).
Good: 2005.03.25.02.00.00
-------------------------
All discs probe properly, no obvious problems.
Bad: 2005.04.01.07.30.00
-------------------------
The slave on the first channel on the Promise card is never found during
probing. Machine hangs during probing every 3rd or 4th boot (can only be
fixed by power-cycling the machine it seems).
