By the way, the patch to hosts.c is definitely not acceptable for 2.0.x. Moving the eata_dma probe earlier in the sequence will quite possibly break some working configurations by causing the devices to be recognized in a different order.
For 2.1, we really should come up with a better method of recognizing controllers in the same order the BIOS will. Unfortunately, as yet I've not heard of any universally applicable algorithm for doing so. Just in testing with BusLogic MultiMaster and FlashPoint, I've seen just about every conceivable ordering in different motherboards.
Anyone have any better ideas?
Leonard
