Hi!
And, could you send the 'hdparm -i' information along, too? Plus the IDE
kernel messages before the seekerror/timeouts would help, too.
Youu have a vt82c596a chipset, one rare enough so I wasn't able to test
with yet. Btw, are you sure it supports ata66? My docs say it should
not, so the ide0=ata66 command line probably isn't applicable and can be
the cause of problems.
