As far as I'm aware it shouldn't, but ...

... oh well. I suppose it's not really worth it to try and debug that. Cheers.

I just want to add that my DVD drive is not detected when using new
driver. So back to old one....

You shouldn't have dropped Alan from CC then... pata_amd, right?

Sorry, yes its pata_amd.
IBM drive is on Primary master (detected as /dev/sdc)
DVD-ROM is on Secondary master (not detected)

It's probably a timing issue (and might be related to why the old driver
makes the BIOS hang at reboot) but pata_amd should I believe be one of the
best tested pata drivers. Using it myself as well, on amd756. I haven't
observed any problems with (a few) various CD/DVD drives attached and am not
actually sure how to go about debugging the thing -- over to Alan.
The DVD-ROM is jumpered for master? Or for cable-select and using the master
cable-slot? Using an 80-ribbon cable for it?

It is jumpered as master and connected with first cable-slot.
Cable itself? I don't know, it was supplied with motherboard, though it
has one pin disabled in middle of connector.
