promise controller problem
When I try to run my harddrive off of the onboard Promise controller I get this error as the system is loading:
hda: 117266688 sectors (60041 MB) w/1902 KiB Cache
CHS=116336/16/63, UDMA (100)
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ 7 <------------ err
Everything is probed correctly and I've appended the ide0 and ide1 addresses into LILO from /proc/pci (ie. append="ide0=0xXXXX, 0xXXXX+2 ide1=0xXXXX, 0xXXXX+2"), but after I get the above message it sits there. Any clue as to what is wrong?
BTW, I have just recently moved my Hard drive to the Promise controller. Before I was just using the Primary IDE channel.
Also at the lilo prompt I pass the parameter "ide=reverse" so that /dev/hde (the Promise master) switches to /dev/hda. Thus letting me escape from modifying fstab and lilo.conf.
