Hi,
Im not sure which list is better for this problem.
Im using a Linux 1.2.3 on a
AMD 486DX4-100
ASUS PVI-486SP3 mother board
NCR53C810 SCSI controller
The system is about 1.5 years old.
I used only SCSI drives and had no problems.
A few days ago I bought a 2 GB quantum fireball IDE disk.
After enabling the onboard IDE controller and autodetection of the HD
(CHS=1023,64,63 LBA mode) LILO is not longer able to boot.
Only LI appears and the system hangs.
OK, I booted with a kernel from a boot disk. I can imagine that the BIOS can
have problems to boot from the SCSI disks after adding an IDE drive.
My main problem is the following:
I called fdisk to make 3 partitions. Each about 1GB + about 50MB swap. I
called mke2fs for both partitions and mounted them. -- worked.
When I'm calling a
find / -xdev -print | cpio -pudvm /usr2
after a short time, the kernel gives a panic.
/usr2 is the first partition on the IDE disk.
Then I tried to supply the parameter
hd=4092,16,63
to the kernel, made new partitions and mke2fs and the same happens.
I tried to make four partitions (3*600MB + swap).
I tried to setup LILO to boot a kernel from hda1 (I'm able to copy small
files without panic) but LILO hangs after 'LI'.
I supplied disk entries in my lilo.conf and the option 'linear' too. The
disk entry contains the values: 4092,16,63.
I gave LILO on a bootdisk and the same happened????
I tried 'large mode' and 'normal mode' but with greater problems.
What I'm doing wrong?
I anybody running linux on a similar configuration?
Is it possible that I should use a newer kernel?
I guess that the LI problem and the panic have the same reason (LBA, disk
geometry).
Is there a conflict between my SCSI and the IDE disk?
Can anybody give me pointers or an idea what I can try?
Thanks in advance
Helmut
