It doesn't for me. I have no idea what could I possibly do wrong, but
I've tried dozens of possibilities without any luck. Compiling in
siimage.c = drive errors, ide2 reset and infinite loop of "lost
interrupt" messages at boot time. Without siimage.c compiled and with
ide2=xxx ide3=xxx parameters in lilo, disks are visible, but of course
there is no DMA.

Any ideas?

t.

ps. yes, I use 2.4.22, without hotplug.
