ATA disks not recognized

[Klaus Heinz <klaus.heinz%onlinehome.de@localhost>]

Hi,

neither GENERIC kernel 1.5.2, 1.5.3_ALPHA, 1.5ZC (all cross-compiled
from i386) nor the kernel from the pre-1.5.1 snapshot by Allen Briggs
from last April recognize an attached ATA disk. The symptoms are the
same for every kernel (output is from 1.5ZC on serial1):

Then I can wait for a very long time... If I power down, detach the disk
and start again, the kernel omits the line 'wdc0 at isa0...' but I have to
wait about 40s (probably the ATA timeout) and then the kernel continues
with lpt0:

  nfs_boot: trying BOOTP

After that the system boots via NFS (1.5ZC kernel) from the i386 box.

I have tried 2 different disks (Conner 635 MB and IBM DTLA 8 GB).
BeOS can see and read from the Conner disk (haven't tried the IBM,
but I guess, no problem there, too). Changing the ATA cable didn't help.

Hardware:
BeBox rev6/66Mhz, ATA disks (see above), Matrox Millennium 1 with 4MB,
PCI 3Com 3c905B/TX 

Has anyone else ATA disks working on their BeBox ?

If anyone has a similar setup and a working bootdisk (console on
serial1. My tests with cons_vga showed only the Be logo and with cons_be
I could see only the first few lines of the boot loader and then a blank
screen) I would like to try it.

At the moment I am recompiling the GENERIC 1.5ZC kernel with 'options
WDCDEBUG and WDC_DIAGNOSTIC' in order to see some more diagnostic messages.
