If it's gcc-3.3.2-0pre3 (the current most recent gcc in sid) then I spent most of Saturday compiling various kernels (including a 2.4.22 that used to work). Every kernel I compiled with that particular revision showed the ide-scsi irq timeout bug on bootup. Furthermore, /dev/hdc was unreadable... Dropping back to gcc-3.2 and the same kernel, same config, same... works fine (including 2.4.23-pre4). Now it may indeed be that the problem is a missing 'barrier()' or something like that in the ide code, but I haven't got the time to try to track it down... Cheers, Trond
