Alrighty then (this is output from lspci -v running under 2.2.18pre21): -- BEGIN OUTPUT -- ... 00:07.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586/A/B PCI-to-ISA [Apollo VP] (rev 41) Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. MVP3 ISA Bridge Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 0 00:07.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. Bus Master IDE (rev 06) (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO]) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 14 I/O ports at 01f0 I/O ports at 03f4 I/O ports at 0170 I/O ports at 0374 I/O ports at ffa0 ... -- END OUTPUT -- Now...one thing I noticed is that Linux is trying to find this IDE interface through PCI and it reports it on 00:07.1 during -test12 and -test13-pre5 boot up (I can't get a dmesg output for you 'cause it never boots...just keeps complaining about hdb: lost interrupt), but the IDE controller seems to be an ISA device (unless I've read this wrong). In case I'm configuring something wrong, I've pasted the IDE .config portions here: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y ONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODES=y Hope this stuff helps you guys out. If somebody wants to tell me a better way to get nvi to wrap lines at 75 chars (other than hitting enter when I think it has to be hit), you could e-mail me (don't bother sending it to the list).
