That makes sense too, thanks, here we go... [PATCH next] ide: fix PowerMac bootup oops PowerMac bootup with CONFIG_IDE=y oopses in ide_pio_cycle_time(): because "ide: try to use PIO Mode 0 during probe if possible" causes pmac_ide_set_pio_mode() to be called before drive->id has been set. Bart points out other places which now need drive->id set earlier, so follow his advice to allocate it in ide_port_alloc_devices() (using kzalloc_node, without error message, as when allocating drive) and memset it for reuse in ide_port_init_devices_data(). Fixed in passing: ide_host_alloc() was missing ide_port_free_devices() from an error path.
