Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24
the following kernel
ii linux-image-2.6.24-4-powerpc 2.6.24-4.7
Linux kernel image for version 2.6.24 on 32-bit PowerPC
is rather unusable on my mac mini (and possibly also powerbook and
ibook, as they share the same ide controller family), since it doesn't
detect the
0002:20:0d.0 Class ff00: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth/Intrepid ATA/100
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 39
Memory at f5004000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
IDE controller... and thus initrd isn't able to mount any root fs :-(
after some debugging I noticed that it's most likely due to the ide
driver not having support for the ide chipset:
grep 'IDE.*_PMAC' /boot/config-2.6.24-4-powerpc
(none found)
vs. (kernel of feisty where ide works)
grep 'IDE.*_PMAC' /boot/config-2.6.22-14-powerpc
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST=y
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
