2007-02-24 21:33:15 Ben Collins linux-source-2.6.20: statusexplanation I think this is the correct. The piix driver was not supposed to be used, and I have corrected the code which is supposed to disable it for chipsets where ata_piix is preferred.
2007-02-27 16:23:50 Higinio Raventós description Today I did a dist-upgrade and it downloaded many things, included the new Kernel 2.6.20-8 and installed them correctly. I am currently using the previous kernel version (2.6.20-6). Since today everything had worked fine, but now when grub loads, I select the latest Kernel and the bootslplash appears, the progressbar does not make any progress. If I press Ctrl+Alt+F4 I see the message: run_progess `/sbin/modprobe` abnormal exit Today I did a dist-upgrade and it downloaded many things, included the new Kernel 2.6.20-8 and installed them correctly.

2007-03-22 15:05:58 Ben Collins linux-source-2.6.20: statusexplanation There's a serious lack of consistent information here. None of the info really helps and I strongly believe that a lot of you are experiencing very different bugs, just showing the same symptom. What I need people to do is boot without the "quiet splash" command line args. Easiest way to do this is to choose the "rescue mode" option in grub. Once the boot stops, hopefully you'll observe some errors or even a crash. A digital photo or hand written copy of this crash/error is what's important. I've had one user who's crash was early in ohci1394, not even related to the disk, but it kept other modules from being loaded. So this is the kind of info I need. If the crash goes off-screen, then possibly adding something like vga=773 (or 772 or 771) to the kernel command line to see more output from the problem. Thanks

2007-03-22 16:55:22 Ben Collins linux-source-2.6.20: statusexplanation Found the bug, and it's strictly related to jmicron. Somehow the jmicron entries were left in generic.ko, but without accompanying chipsets_generic[] entry, which led to a bad pointer when it came time to show the chipset name. This is fixed in my git. It's unfortunate that I didn't get it done in time for beta, but I will be uploading this kernel on Saturday, so by early next week you should start seeing it on mirrors.
