RE: IDE DMA mode in Big endian for mips

["Hanks Li" <hli@quicklogic.com>]

Thanks Atsushi San, the patch did help. The partition check can pass now.
But my boot (such as: usb, ethernet, etc.) could not continue after solving
the IDE problem.

Could anybody give me a hint?

Thanks

Hanks Li

When I tried PCI-IDE in BigEndian (with 2.4.6 kernel), this patch
solved my problem.
