    SubjectRe: VIA chipset discussion
    I'm not sure how relevant it is, but FWIW here's what I've got:

    MSI 694D Pro Motherboard 2xPIII-800 100MHz FSB
    Linux-2.4.0-prerelease SMP
    Promise FastTrak100 controller card
    4 IBM DTLA-307030 drives attached to Promise card
    boot params: ide2=0xac00 ide3=0xb400

    Here's an excerpt of what I get when trying to boot:

    VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
    VP_IDE: chipset revision 16
    VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    VP_IDE: VIA vt82c686a IDE UDMA66 controller on pci0:7.1
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0x9000-0x9007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0x9008-0x900f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
    PDC20267: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 70
    PDC20267: chipset revision 2
    PDC20267: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    PDC20267: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary MASTER Mode Secondary MASTER Mode.
    PDC20267: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)
    hde: probing with STATUS(0x50) instead of ALTSTATUS(0xff)
