Hello!

Wheni start up my Gentoo box, in the first set of all white text that flys by at a million MPH, (i think it's the kernel loading) I see a message something like "VIA_IDE chipset found but not compiled in" or something.

1)
Is there a way to call up a log of that kernel-loading text?

2)
What exactly in the kernel do i need to compile in to get this to work? I thought i had the chipset selected.

Thanks!
-Matt

PS - It's an ASUS AN7V8X.

1) try this:
Code:
dmesg


2) what this says?
Code:
grep VIA /usr/src/linux/.config


(for me it says: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y and it should for you too if you enabled VIA chipset support in kernel)

Oh.. i think it says "VP_IDE" :( my bad!
Code:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 89
VP_IDE: detected chipset, but driver not compiled in!
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:11.1. Please try using pci=biosirq.
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xa400-0xa407, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:DMA
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xa408-0xa40f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA


And yeah, it says i have config_blk_dev_via82cxxx=y aswell.

I have VIA chipset and it says:
Code:
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 89
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: VIA vt8233a (rev 00) IDE UDMA133 controller on pci00:11.1
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xb800-0xb807, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb808-0xb80f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA


(VIA vt8233a)

Are you sure that you have via chipset? try compile all chipset types in kernel and what is says then?

Hrm. I've looked around, and i think there's just no support for this VIA chipset yet, i assumed the other was it, but apparently no.

You have ASUS A7N8X board? I looked from asus website that you have nforce2 chipset not VIA. You may use quick search for looking info for this chipset.
