Hmm, none of my other machines load 'ide-generic'. They only have 'generic' + a chipset specific module. And then there's this:
[...] Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx pnp: the driver 'ide' has been registered Probing IDE interface ide0... hda: _NEC DVD_RW ND-4570A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Probing IDE interface ide1... ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache [...] ICH7: chipset revision 1 ICH7: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ICH7: port 0x01f0 already claimed by ide0 ICH7: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS) [...]
I admit to having no clue about what the 'ide-generic' and 'generic' modules even do - but could it be that the wrong driver is "grabbing" the port? On that hunch I moved the 'ide-generic' module out of the way, and get the following: [...] Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx pnp: the driver 'ide' has been registered [...] ICH7: chipset revision 1 ICH7: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0x30b0-0x30b7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio Probing IDE interface ide0... hda: _NEC DVD_RW ND-4570A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 [...] In this config I could complete the transfer at a little over 500KB/s, which seems awfully slow but at least completed, and without errors at that. Am I on the right track?
