In any case, it's > still working for me there, too, now :-) Unfortunately its not working. In fact it already used the generic_ide_pci driver. I tried the ATA bus manager as well but it didn't help. Even more strangely the same image works under vmware server, again using the generic_ide_pci driver. Maybe it's the interaction with the PCI bus manager? At least the log said "PCI-IDE: Controller detection failed! bus master base not configured". I checked in ide_adapter_probe_controller() and found that bus_master_base = pci->read_pci_config(device, PCI_base_registers + 16, 4) yields bus_master_base == "0x01", which looks weird. At least it causes ide_adapter_detect_controller() to fail and print the above error message... /Jan
