I am not so sure this is a good idea as libc is a part of the
base system, and thus not usually (ever?) included in a
package's dependancies.

Thanks, this sounds suspiciously like yet another acpi bug.
Could you take a look at bug 263420 and see if any of the information
in there helps. In particular, can you see if either of the following
boot parameters help.

acpi=off
pci=noacpi

Should we do the same for 2.4.27?

Hi,

Thanks for the bug report. I checked up on the thread on lkml.
I am a bit reluctant to add a patch to the debian kernel if
the upstream maintainer's don't. Please let me know if there
are any developments in that direction, I will keep an eye on the
thread.

Thanks

2.6.7 is currently in the process of being removed from
the debian archive and almost certainly will not appear in sarge.
As you mention that the bug does not manifest in 2.6.8 I have
marked it as won't fix.

Bug#270198: Related problem?

Hi

I think I may be seeing the same (or at least maybe closely related) 
problem. My "test box" is currently based on an old i430TX board, with 
the Intel PIIX4 southbridge -- the same as would be present on the 
reporter's i440LX/BX boards.

I have kernel-image-2.6.8-1-386 installed on this system, but I'm using 
a SCSI drive as boot/root/swap. I cannot seem to get my IDE drives to 
work after boot. No entries for the IDE controllers appear in 
/proc/interrupts. Nothing shows up in "dmesg" saying that the PIIX4 or 
the drives hanging off of it were found.

But the "piix" module shows up in "lsmod", as do the IDE core, disk, and 
cd modules.

I also have kernel-image-2.4.27-1-k6 installed, and it works properly.

If you need further info to help debug this problem, let me know and 
I'll do my best to help.

Thanks
