Comments/Problems:
 
When loading the ide-detect module, the kernel logs show that the hard
disk and CD-ROM drive are correctly detected, but then I get lots of
"hda: lost interrupt" (same with hdc).  From then on, no hard disk or
CD-ROM access manages to get through.  I tried not loading the sis5513
module, using the generic module instead, I also tried without even
the generic module, no better.  LKML tells me I should try and disable
DMA at boot time, but I haven't been able to guess how to do that (I
get the same results when using "linux nodma ide=nodma hda=nodma
idebus=nodma" and disabling DMA from the BIOS's setup).

The kernel on beta2 (2.4.21 or 2.4.22, I think) works better on this
particular box (well, at least until network enters the game -- the
on-board LAN chipset uses FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as its MAC address, which
causes problems for data transmission and reception).

Hi there,

Sorry about the delay, I had forgotten about this bug report for a
while, then the power supply of that particular box died, and I only
today replaced it (after half a year).  I ran the Etch beta2
debian-installer today, and despite other problems preventing the
installation to complete (fishy NIC), the base system installed fine
on the hard disc (2.6.15 kernel), without any particular boot
parameters.  Therefore I'll take the liberty of closing this bug
report.

Roland.
