[Voyage-linux] Problem with HDD on Alix2c2 with Voyage Linux

Sat Sep 20 00:06:37 HKT 2008

Hi,

I've tried all combinations of these to GRUB at boot, but no difference :/

When I boot the hdd on a notebook dmesg says "using PIO mode 4, Ultra DMA mode 2"
But when it fails in voyage it says "using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2" (then it downgrades). 
However, I've tested to use Ultra DMA with TinyBIOS when Alix2c2 boots, but without any success.

Any other ideas? Does anyone know if someone actually managed to add an IDE 2.5" HDD on an alix board?

Hi,

Try appending each of two kernel parameters at grub prompt to test:

1. all_generic_ide
2. ide=nodma

And report to the list which one work in your case.  Thanks.
