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

[Matthew Plumb]

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.
