On this system that PCI device is a "82801CA IDE U100". Googling a bit suggests that it's a BIOS problem and that there are workarounds in ac kernels: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0211.3/0991.html http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2002-September/000228.h= tml Now I can't apply all of 2.4.20-ac2 as that would invalidate the extensive testing, so I was wondering if anyone could point to the pertinent code. cheers, P=C3=A1draig.
