Fw: Resolved: [Voyage-linux] Ebox 3300A-JSK Failed to Boot Voyage 0.6.5

[Matthew Plumb]

Hi Everyone,
 
This was resolved by changing the IDE Configuration in the bios such that the IDE was in 'Standard IDE' Enabled mode....
 
Stupid mistake on my part but for some strange reason older kernels were working which led me to believe something was wrong with the configuration.
 
Thanks,
Matt

This didn't work for me. I get the same result..
 
In searching previous results on this issue I found that Punky had posted the following difference between the kernel configurations of the two different types of voyage:

the different to 2.6.30 and 2.6.26 is that the 2.6.26 sets 
CONFIG_IDE=m 
while 2.6.30 sets: 
CONFIG_IDE=y 
Is it possible that If I were to recompile the kernel with this option set to m as it was for 2.6.26 that it may work? or is this parameter difference unrelated to the problem? 
If not, Any other ideas? 
  
Thanks again. 
  
Matt

Hi,

Some suggested adding  ide_core.nodma=0.0 to kernel parameter at grub prompt, please try and let us know the result.
