Hi, I'm using the kernel version 2.4.31 (-r2_4_31) from the CVS. The plattform is a MIPS Toshiba JMR3927CF with an IDE PCI chipset CMD649. The problem is that the IDE chipset CMD649 is detected but the hardisk that is connected via this IDE channel is not detected. The system boots direct from a flash so I can paste /proc entries too. Note: #define PCIBIOS_MIN_IO 0x8000 /* reserve regacy I/O space */ #define PCIBIOS_MIN_MEM 0x0000 This settings are used for this board. dmesg Output: CPU revision is: 00002242 Primary instruction cache 8kB, linesize 16 bytes Primary data cache 4kB, linesize 16 bytes Linux version 2.4.31 (andi@diesel) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #16 Die Aug 2 14:28:16 CEST 2005 TX3927 -- CRIR:39270040 CCFG:0006b039 PCFG:007c1000 TX3927 PCIC -- DID:000a VID:102f RID:07 Arbiter:Internal TX39XX D-Cache WriteBack (CWF) .

Any Ideas Best regards Andrew
