Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24
the following kernel
ii linux-image-
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-
(none found)
vs. (kernel of feisty where ide works)
grep 'IDE.*_PMAC' /boot/config-
