We're starting to get this working now. We had to get 2.6.11-rc3 to fix some alpha problems, apply an additional patch from -bk8 to setup dma_mapping_error for alpha and the patch for this card posted here before. We immediately noticed that the port mapping seems to be wrong: Physical Port Registers as 1 -> 4 2 -> 2 3 -> 1 4 -> 3 Also, it doesn't seem to be in pci.ids yet. We'll be doing a lot more testing in the meantime... we'll let you all know what we see. thanks! john - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
