Thanks, this is new information.

There have been piix users that report non-boot and no DMA with
the latest yaird version, but you are the first to report this
for an amd74xx motherboard.

Just to avoid misunderstandings: did you add the ide-generic
to repair a non-booting system, or just by way of prevention?

If the amd74xx also fails to boot without ide-generic, I'll need
to prepare a modified yaird patch.
