Good day.

I just tried the PATA driver for my AMD756 chip. During boot, it hangs 
for 3 minutes failing to identify my DVD-ROM (secondary slave) and does 
not give me access to it after it timed out.

Situation is AMD756 (a UDMA66 chipset), both channels 80w cables:

1. Primary Master	: UDMA133 disk, works fine
2. Primary Slave	: Empty
3. Secondary Master	: Plextor Premium CD-RW (UDMA33), works fine
4. Secondary Slave	: Plextor PX-116A DVD-ROM (UDMA66), does not

All are using cable select and work fine with the old IDE driver and 
also with an earlier version of the PATA code; I used 2.6.17-rc4-ide1 
(which I see is still the latest standalone patch) without problems before.

The 2.6.17-rc4-ide pata_amd version was 0.1.7 and current is 0.2.4. Did 
try a quick diff between them, but it seems the difference is mostly 
infrastructural, so the problem is probably further on up.

Excerpt from boot-log (this takes 3 minutes):

By the way -- PATA interfaces (ata1, ata2) start counting at 1 while 
their devices (.00, .01) start counting at 0 which sort of sucks. While 
looking at "ata2.01" during boot (with the rest scrolled away) I thought 
I was looking at secondary master initially. If they can still be named 
ata0 and ata1, I'd consider that better.

Anyways, as said, all worked fine on 2.6.17-rc4-ide1 including I believe 
with secondary master tuned to UDMA33 and slave to UDMA66 according to 
their device capabilities.

Happy to provide more or other information if needed.

Rene.
