P5A Asus board and M1541 Aladdin...
Well I do know this is not the right mailing list but you're so kind, so... ;)
Ok, I've got this ASUS P5A-B motherboard, with this Acer Labs M5229/c1 IDE
interface. This is the output of lspci -v:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. M1541 (rev 04)

01:00.0 Display controller: Texas Instruments TVP4020 [Permedia 2] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Unknown device 1092:0146

Memory at df000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)

... and the kernel (2.2.9) says...
...
PCI_IDE: unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device 78, VID=10b9, DID=5229
PCI_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PCI_IDE: simplex device: DMA disabled

PCI_IDE: simplex device: DMA disabled

hdb: ATAPI 7X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache
Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.55
hdc: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm
hdc: The drive reports both 100663296 and 0 bytes as its capacity
...
The BIOS is correctly set to "Auto" in the PIO/UltraDMA IDE modes.
My question is: is it me, or the latest kernels cannot support ALi M5229 ide
interface?
Another question: I really made a mistake buying a WDC AC313000R, didn't I? ;)
Ciao,
Illo.
