Hi,
Just got myself a new El Cheapo PC, motherboard is an "ASRock K7S8X". IDE chipset is SiS746FX. Tried installing Debian (latest beta3 of the installer, based on kernel 2.4.25) on it, but I couldn't: the IDE detection code would load the sis5513 module, then sort of hand for various amounts of time (during which the loggers complained about "hda: lost interrupt" and "hdc: lost interrupt"). Eventually, a timeout would be reached, but the hard drive (hda) woud still not be usable, and the CD-ROM drive (hdc) wouldn't be usable anymore (after having been used as a source for loading the modules).
I've looked around a bit, and it seems that sis5513.c has seen a change between 2.4.21 and 2.4.22 removing support for the SiS746 chipset. Well, removing lines mentionint it, at least, but I'm not enough of a guru to see what it should change.
So I'm wondering, is this a mistake from my part (which I'll do my best to solve), from the debian-installer (in which case I'll report it to them), or has this support really been dropped, in which case could it please be re-enabled?
Thanks for any hint,
Roland. -- Roland Mas
