Tiny Core Base > TCB Bugs

TCB doesn't accept kernel parameters on boot prompt

<< < (2/2)

^thehatsrule^:
Sounds like Intel's combined mode - this might help: http://linux-ata.org/faq.html#combined

Gullible Jones:
Yep, it's combined mode. The issue:

1. As of kernel 2.6.26 the combined_mode quirk is no longer supported.
2. hdX=none doesn't work, because the ata_piix driver thinks I don't have a SATA controller. (This is distinctly abnormal, and hasn't happened on any other Linux distro.)
3. I can't recompile the kernel.
4. I can't change the option in the BIOS, because I'm using a cheap Acer laptop with drives locked in IDE emulation mode. >:(

So basically, unless issue #2 can be fixed, I'm SOL.

Gullible Jones:
Does anyone know how I can get around this "no native ports" bug?

Anyone?

Beuler?

Gullible Jones:
Tried adding piix.intel_via_libata=1 as a boot option, since that seemed to work for some people... Nope, didn't do anything.

Anyone?

Gullible Jones:
Edit: fixed in 2.0rc1. Woo hoo!
