Hi Walt,

Well, the incorrect VendorID almost clearly points to the incompatible 
PCI bus frequency - try to set it to 33Mhz.
AFAIR, I saw my network card as video adapter in the lspci output.

The 2.4 stuff was tested rather thoroughly. The current 2.6.11 support 
is examined with HPT370 and PDC20268 PCI IDE.

You may also try my latest patch to the stock linux 2.5.
