It works here, but has one drawback: it is slower than the old "via82cxxx" IDE driver. My configuration with the via82cxxx driver: /dev/hda = disk, QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-5 T13 1321D revision 1 /dev/hdb = SAMSUNG CD-ROM SC-148F Drive is old, supports only mdma2 There are also /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd, irrelevant here. With the via82cxxx driver, I can get speed around 20 MB/s from /dev/hda. The pata_via driver downgrades this to 7 MB/s because it needlessly drops the disk to MWDMA2 mode. -- Alexander E.
