Well..... epat didn't change for 2.4. I've seen noise around the pd module
so maybe that's it. Also see a recent post on Epat from
moomonk@electricgod.net. I think I said a few things about epat lockups so
that'd be a first step (it's early and my brain isn't functioning yet)

Subject: [PARPORT] Problems with kernel 2.4.X and EPAT Shuttle HDD driver
Hi all !
I have problems similar as was described in archive at 2.3.2001.
I'm using hdd on LPT port - adapter has shuttle chip and it works
fine on all 2.2.X kernels, but unfortunately not good on all 2.4.X.
When I boot any of 2.4.X kernel, I can mount external hdd as before,
but when I'm copying big files from/to external hdd, sometimes I can
copy 10 MB without errors, sometimes I got error during copy of first
MB :
pda: do_pd_read_drq: status = 0x10050 = SEEK READY TMO
This mesage appears in interval cca 1s and computer is dead - I must
use hw reset button.
Where can I look for error ? Why was epat driver changed for 2.4.X
kernels ? Can I anyhow setup behaviour epat driver in 2.4.X kernels
to be similar as the 2.2.X version ?
And last question - would be sometime in epat driver support for
faster ECP (DMA) mode on LPT port ?
Thank you for any idea.
sw : RH 7.0 (+ some patces for 2.4.X kernels), kernel 2.4.0-test9,
2.4.1, 2.4.2-0.1.25 (RedHat rawhide).
hw : Celeron 466 / PIII 550 on MSI 6163Pro, onboard LPT port in EPP
mode.
