Perhaps the PCI scanning order was changed? Fortunately, not. :) What happened is that ide-dev-2.6 tree contains a patch which ignores BIOS settings for Promise controllers but ide-dev-2.6 tree is not in 2.6.9-mm1 (due to syncing with -linus -> temporary breakage). > > How can I restore the old behaviour ?

In 2.6.9-mm1 CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE option can also be used for pdc202xx_old but pdc202xx_new must be enabled (yes it a bug). > > Better, can I force ide0=via, for any kernel I boot ?
