OK,
I've posted the following:
GOOD WORKING CONFIG http://phildev.net/config-working
GOOD WORKING DMESG http://phildev.net/dmesg-working
NON WORKING CONFIG http://phildev.net/config-bad
NON WORKING DMESG http://phildev.net/dmesg-bad
As a recap... For the non-working config, when I boot, the onboard VIA is recognized by the generic IDE driver, and then I did the dmesg, and then I modprobed CMD64X and it **reasigned** ide0 and ide1 to the PCI IDE card's chains and the original ide0 and ide1 disappeared, I therefore lost my hard drive, and the machine becomes unresponsive. I think that **might** be a bug in the CMD64X driver?
If I can provide more info, please let me know. I've kept the other kernel around so that I may boot into it if need be.
And as I said before, compiling hte VIA and CMD drivers both into the works fine on my machine, and I appreciate help getting that working, but I would like to either understand the above behavior, or know its a bug, or...
Thanks again for all your help. It really is much appreciated.
