The system DOES work flawlessly running windows in DMA
mode, which leads me to believe that I am not
experiencing a Hardware problem.
I have tried every suggestion concerning the via
chipset on this site. I've heard of many success
stories with this board. what am i doing wrong?!?!
At this point I am 100% lost. any help would be
greatly appreciated. I am willing to do any testing
of the system that anyone may need. Currently I have
no working copy of linux on the sytem. My normal
process to get running is to install slackware.
download 2.4.2 and the latest ac patch. Compile, add
ide=reverse to lilo, switch the hd over to the
highpoint hpt366 controller and reboot. As soon as I
boot corruption begins and drive will be useless
within 10 minutes. I have also tried leaving the HD
on the VIA82686a controller witht the same results.
Also note I have tried IBM & MAXTOR UDMA100 drives as
well as IBM & WD UDMA66 Drives. I have tried both 40
& 80 pin cables on the drives.
Please cc me in your replies as I am not subscribed to
the list.
Thank you in advance for any help
