I'm running several v100 here, which have (afaik) the same hardware then
the Netra X1.
00:0d.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c3)
is working well without ide=nodma here.
But I have to force the tulip ethernet chipset into HD mode, as it
dropped too many packets while running on FD.
Hope that helps,
Bernd
