Could you report the chip set type and revision? Quote the corresponding parts from the "lspci -v" output, please. I've been using PC Chips main boards with VIA chip sets without IDE difficulties ever since I bought one of those in fall 1998. (VIA Apollo MVP3 AGP, VT82C598 + VT82C586 north+south bridges), both PC Chips M577 and Tyan Trinity S1590S. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
