Cort asked me to ask people to test these changes. Cort is planning on putting these changes in unless people can find problems with the modifications. Could someone else please try out these changes? I've attached the diff. This diff is against vger 2.2, Cort's request. Since my original post I found an old Blackhawk (PowerStack) that has IDE. I tried my original patch on this board and it didn't work. Well, come to find out the standard 2.2 PPC kernel also didn't support IDE. So in the patch that's attached, I have also fixed IDE on a Blackhawk. I have tested this patch on a MTX, MCP750, MCPN750 and a Blackhawk.
