I was, yes. The theory is that the latest kernels with the -philb patches
should work on the CATS.

Groan. I made a change on philb-990301 which was intended to try to fix
Neil's problem with the second channel getting the wrong IRQ number. It
sounds like this just didn't work (and thinking about it more, what's more
likely is that a different patch has gotten accidentally backed out at some
point).
The problem with it crashing randomly is something Neil mentioned too. I must
admit I never used the IDE very much, certainly not recently. My suspicion is
that the ISA IRQ routines aren't quite right - maybe some of the black 8259
magic needs to be reinstated. Unfortunately I don't have a CATS board any
more so there's not a lot I can do directly to fix it. If someone would like
to lend me one for a bit maybe I can do something.
