ide-controller ACARD 6260M not working with debian 3.0
hi, I'm trying to install debian 3.0(kernel 2.4.18) on a mac b&w rev1. Because of an built-in error of the original onboard ide-controller it's impossible to add another hard disk to this controller and so I want to install on a disk, which is connected to an ide-controller card. I've got a TurboMax/ATA-66 card, which is identical to the ACARD 6260M. During istallation of the 2.4.18 kernel from the debian3.0-cd the hard disk is recognised from the installation system, partition check is o.k. as said in dmesg and kernel is written on the disk, but when the system should be rebooted from the hard disk it gives in dmesg the following error-messages: .. partition check: .. hde: lost interrupt ide_dma_proc: chipset supported ide_dma_lostirq func only: 13 .. this error message is given again and again without an end; hde is the disk connected to the ACARD ide controller card, about the card is said in dmesg: .. AEC 6260R: IDE controller on PCI bus 01 dev 10 AEC 6260R: chipset revision 1 AEC 6260R: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later AEC 6260R: ROM enabled at 0x8089 .. during installation I found with cat /proc/pci .. bus 1, device 2, function 0: SCSI storage controller: Artop Electronics Corp ATP 860 (rev1) IRQ 23 .. I've updated the card's firmware under mac os to version 3.21. Some advice how to fix this problem ? Thank you very much Rolf

Re: 2.4.21-ben2 and acard aec6280m
I've got this "lost interrupt error" also, while trying to boot
from a hard disk connected to an acard aec6260M, which is used in a mac
b&w rev1. I've compiled the 2.4.18 kernel with the driver version 0.9 with
both settings tuning support y and n, but got always the same error.
If the drive, which is connected to the aec6260M is accessed after
starting the mac from a debian installation binary cd, there isn't any
error and it's possible for the installation system to write the kernel on the
connected disk, but restart from this disk later isn't possible due to the
lost interrupt error. Because Michel Lanners asked me in an earlier
posting which interrupt is assigned to the acard aec 6260M I've looked at
this in detail and saw that there is assigned a diffrent interrupt to the
card wether the system is started from installation cd or from the hard
disk itself (irq 13 versus 23).
If anyone is able to go further with this I can post dmesg after starting
from the hard disk and cat/proc/pci after starting from installation iso,
comparing this, I've seen the diffrent interrupts assigned to the card.
Any solution on the problem is really appreciated,
Bye Rolf

hi, I've read in several comments that there's no support for the internal speaker of the mac blue&white, but only for the headphones-out. As I have the same problem, did anyone fixed this in the meantime ? thanks Rolf
ISDN-card or adapter to use with debian and pci-usb-ppc
hello, I want to get an ISDN-pci-card or ISDN-USB-device for my G3ppc. So which current available cards are known to work well with linux and can be recommended ? Currently I'm using a 'hermstedt webshuttle-2' as an acm-cdc device, but this has bug's and cannot be recommended. Thanks for any answer, Rolf
