Subjectdiff to fix ide.txt
Below is a diff against 2.0.3 that fixes ide.txt so it contains the 
correct parameters for the four ide channels. See my earlier mail for
more details.
Cheers,

To access devices on the 2nd/3rd/4th interfaces, device entries must first be
created in /dev for them. To create such entries, simply run the included

Interfaces beyond the first two are not normally probed for, but may be
specified using kernel "command line" options. For example,

- ide3=0x1e8,0x3f0,11 /* ioports 0x1e8-0x1ef,0x3f0, irq 11 */
+ ide3=0x168,0x36e,10 /* ioports 0x1e8-0x1ef,0x3f0, irq 11 */

Normally the irq number need not be specified, as ide.c will probe for it:

- ide3=0x1e8,0x3f0 /* ioports 0x1e8-0x1ef,0x3f0 */
+ ide3=0x168,0x36e /* ioports 0x168-0x16f,0x36e */
+
+The standard port, and irq values are these:
+
+ ide0=0x1f0,0x3f6,14
+ ide1=0x170,0x376,15
+ ide2=0x1e8,0x3ee,11
+ ide3=0x168,0x36e,10
+
+In all probability the device uses these ports and irqs if it is attached
+to the appropriate ide channel. Pass the parameter for the correct ide
+channel to the kernel, as explained above.

Any number of interfaces may share a single IRQ if necessary, at a slight
performance penalty, whether on separate cards or a single VLB card.
