Alan,

I just tried to use the IDE2 patches to 2.6.17-rc3 tonight. I've got
an old Dell Precision 610, Dual 550Mhz Xeon, 768mb of RAM. My root
disk is SCSI, with hda a Samsung DVD/ROM, CDRW drive. I've got an
HPT302 controller with a pair of 120gb IDE disks. I've also got an
addon PCI USB/Firewire Card, an old Cyclom-Y ISA serial port card,
Matrox G450 AGP card, builtin Adaptec SCSI cards, DLT 7000 tape
drive. Probably other stuff as well.

Here's the lspci output:

Booting up it was *slow*... slower than normal. I got the following
oops, copied down from a photo I took, since it didn't end up getting
written to disk.

Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide.
I'll try to get a serial cable on there so I can capture the boot log
better to another host, but no sure when I'll be able to do this.
