Any input into a work around would be greatly appreciated :) ================================= Problem Summary: - Linux 2.4.4, 2.4.18 & 2.4.18-rtl3.2-pre1 kernels hang when DAQ-2010 installed in PC system. Problem Detail: - With Linux 2.4.4, 2.4.18 and 2.4.18-rtl3.2pre1 kernels (from kernel.org & fsmlabs) installed on the PC platform CPCR-COP933, Linux boots up fine. When the Adlink Tech DAQ-2010 PCI card is installed into the system boot up hangs. - The listed Linux kernels were the only kernels tried so the problem could exist with other kernels as well. - The problem was found to be independant of kernels with the FSM Real time extensions or of different kernel compile options. ie. same problem for all tried Linux modules. - The system did boot-up when the RedHat v8.0 linux version was used. Key words: - BootUp, kernel,installation, DAQ cards, PCI Kernel Versions: - Linux version 2.4.4, 2.4.18, 2.4.18-rtl3.2-pre1 Error Message: - With the DAQ card installed the last lines displayed before the systems hangs are: : PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev f9 PIIX4: chipset revision 2 ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS Settings: hda:DMA,hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS Settings: hda:pio,hdb:DMA ------ screen hangs here - but we dont really know how far the processor got ---- If the card hadn't been installed the next lines would be: hda: WDC WD600BB-00CAA1, ATA DISK drive hdd: Memorex 40 MAXX 1248J, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7, 0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177, 0x376 on irq 15 : etc a full dmesg output for 2.4.18-rtl3.2pre1 is attached for when the card ISN"T installed.
