I was give a system with a D875PBZ Intel MB in it, it is a 2.8G system.
I am trying to get Fedora on it but either get a kernel panic or
failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40). I have googled and found a
few ides, none have helped.
I've:
- updated the BIOS
- set irqpoll
- tried disabling the Intel SATA raid controller
- ....
If I take my IDE drive out of the old system and only run IDE on the
new system it boots and seems to work great. If I try to reinstall -
as a test to see if there is a problem with just SATA - I get the
same error - failed to set ....
My head hurts from all the banging and trying different options, this
list is my last hope before I talk my self into purchasing a PCI SATA
RAID controller.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
You were given this motherboard by a friend? It sounds to me the ide
controller is working fine but you have a broken serial controller.
