Hy, I have the same Problem with SuSE 7.1 on my notebook. (I use my notebook to test the installations before I make it on my servers) My notebook have the same Via Chipset... Only one harddisk on ide0 and the cdrom on ide1. So I suggest not to install the new kernel on Computers with that Via-Chipset-Boards.. Best Regards Wilko Heyl

I installed the new kernel package for 2.2.19 on my SuSE 6.4 following each step in the announcement. After rebooting it hangs during the ide detection. I have two hard disks at ide0, a CD-ROM and a tape drive at ide1. Usually, I get the following messages at boot:

VP_IDE VIA vt82 c686a (rev 22) IDE UDMA66 controller von pci00:07.1 ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd000-0xd007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd008-0xd00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio

And here it hangs for at least 5 minutes (I rebooted then).
