Comment 46 for bug 213639

I've tested it with Interpid Beta LiveCD and it worked - I could access my HDD. So I decided to do upgrade to Interpid on my PC. And sadly Interpid doesn't boot at all on my PS. So problem is not with VIA controller at all but with / on this controller. I've compiled needed modules for Interpid kernel (2.6.27-7) - whole IDE section is disabled so I needed not only module for VIA but also whole IDE stack. After compiling it and putting all modules where they should be ( /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/ide/ ) I'e done all standard things described by me before (in comment #8) and it didn't worked. Maybe since I was in earlier kernel from Hardy (since new one doesn't boot)? But after this I've installed updated kernel (from Interpid RC) and I don't know what exactly helped from postinst script, but now my PC boots with Interpid kernel (2.6.27-7). You can find attached all modules needed - it's "ide" dir, which should be put in /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/ to make it work. Then reinstall latest kernel package (this option is available in synaptic in context menu fr selected package).
