Description of problem: FC7 can not be installed on my santa-rosa platform from ide CDROM, it can only be installed by NFS method. But RHEL5 can be installed from ide CDROM. Here is my pci device list by lspci and lspci -n command 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev f3) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile LPC Interface Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation Mobile IDE Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Mobile SATA AHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.4 Performance counters: Intel Corporation Unknown device 284e (rev 03) 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 4229 (rev 61) 00:1e.0 0604: 8086:2448 (rev f3) 00:1f.0 0601: 8086:2811 (rev 03) 00:1f.1 0101: 8086:2850 (rev 03) 00:1f.2 0106: 8086:2829 (rev 03) 00:1f.3 0c05: 8086:283e (rev 03) 00:1f.4 1101: 8086:284e (rev 03) 02:00.0 0280: 8086:4229 (rev 61) I checked FC7 kernel source code, libata and ata_piix is for ide/sata device, but ICH8M IDE controller(8086:2850) is not listed in file ata_piix.c. So FC7 can not identify my ide cdrom
Someone else has post one patch in LKML, it works for me. The IDE cdrom can by identified with this patch. http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/msg/6c4bd453bfc4ac82 thanks bibo,mao
Created attachment 158154 [details] patch, cleaned up and submitted to linux-ide list
Patch went in kernel 1.3240.fc7
(In reply to comment #3) > Patch went in kernel 1.3240.fc7 Chuck, did you add it to F-7 only on purpose? Seems the patch is sill being discussed on linux-ide and looks like it won't make it into 2.6.22, so might make sense to add it to the devel branch temporary as well.

Now the patch has already in linus git tree, I think it can be added into FC7 update kernel and future FC8 test version. This patch is critical for us, without this patch FC7 can not be installed from Santa-Rosa DVD cdrom, and DVD cdrom can not be identified even FC7 is installed from network.

As those are based on linus' git tree ATM it's part of that as well > This patch is critical for us, without this patch FC7 can not be installed from > Santa-Rosa DVD cdrom, and DVD cdrom can not be identified even FC7 is installed > from network. If you/Intel want to help it would be nice if you could clarify if the recent ICH's support Ultras/ATA 133 or not See the thread on LKML starting at http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.0/0264.html See also http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/ata/ata_piix.c;h=d9fa329fd157741f12b83be996e8b7d419052044;hb=HEAD According to that code the ICH5 and ICH7/7R support Ultra/ATA 133, but that's not the case afaics from the datasheets.
should be fixed in devel tree, and forthcoming F7 2.6.23 update.
