There's some .20 patch here, mentioned here. |
I think I'll use that patch in -viper7, hopefully that will help fix some of your problems.

Yes, /dev/hda to /dev/sda. |
I have a PATA HDD on VT6410 chip. My root partition was /dev/hde8.
I can't get it to boot. I've tried some wild guesses like /dev/sda8, /dev/sdb8/ and /dev/sde8
Should I use VIA82CXXX chipset support or VIA PATA support now?

Disable ATA support entirely and choose VIA PATA. You're root fs should then be /dev/sde8. Make sure you fix the name in /etc/fstab and in grub.conf

Typo - did you mean sda? When I switched my driver from VIA82CXXX to VIA_PATA, hda became sdc - the next available letter. My two DVD drives became sr0 and sr1.
Disabling the normal driver took me months to figure out. 
edit: clarified.

Here hda became sda as it should and my sata-drive became sdb, so vipernicus is right  |

He said e. That's why I thought it was a typo. I hope my kernel doesn't decide to change it's mind one day and switch them round.  |

| Oh, I get ya, so it's usually a 1:1 mapping for pata, rearranging the sata drives? Maybe mine was different because my bios is set to boot from sata. |

| I downloaded the x86 Conrad livecd for doing my ext4 maintainance, and I noticed they have everything on the libata driver, so you could download that to see what letters are allocated, and adjust the configs. |

Thanks for help.
It turns out I have it under /dev/sda not "e".
My only DVD-RW drive was /dev/hda (on IDE0) and my only HDD drive (on IDE1) was /dev/hde.
Now when I disabled ATA entirely I have no DVD drive (forgot to compile support to it) and HDD on /dev/sda.

I think you'll want "SCSI CDROM" and "SCSI General" device support, my CDRW turned into /dev/sr0 |

SCSI CDROM nor SCSI Generic didn't give my CDROM back
Neither did pata_oldpiix. pata_mpiix, ata_generic
I have a NEC DVD-RW drive on Gigabyte motherboard with I915 and ICH6 chips. Anyone?
Shouyld I really disable entire "ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support"? There's "Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support" in it.

| Have you tried the "generic ata support" under the SATA section in device drivers? |

Yes, that should be disabled completely.
I myself have SCSI CDROM, SCSI DISK and SCSI generic enabled, then my dvd/dvd-rw drives were mapped to /dev/sr0/1. I have an i865 chipset with ich5 southbridge |

It doesn't work this way in my case
I get only /dev/sg0 which cannot be mounted

I have also tried compiling in all PATA drivers in "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers".
Still no luck

I've had enough.
After numerous attempts and driver combinations I compiled VIA PATA Support for my hard drive from "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers" and CDROM support from "Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support"

I can't even reboot with ctrl+alt+del or with alt+sysrq+r
And what are this messages?

I'm seeing alot of that as well, and if I remove suspend2 support, the message disappears.

it's cool to try out new stuff and help debug them
but this suspend2 thing just like reiser4 is a big fat pain in the usual place.

For testing purposes, I setup my / as reiser4 with cryptcompress. Oddly enough, ext4 with extents is faster.
I'm using the reiser4 patch posted in the benchmark link of the Reiser4 thread, and it is working well here.

| It's kinda offtopic, but anyone knows if ext4 (with extents) works with GRUB? |
