Except that, as you may have noticed by now, you'll be unable to get any real speed out of them with the ide-generic module, since it can't do DMA transfers, and you've effectively reset all your IDE drives to PIO only rates, which is terrible. What you want is two lines in /etc/modules, frist one for sis5513 and then one for ide-generic (or possibly just ide-probe, which may be all you need). -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Psychology.
