The existing VIA ide/pci/via82cxxx driver should support any of the standard IDE components found on VIA southbridges up to and including the 8237 (8237A should make 2.6.18) Depending on your MIPS board arrangement you may need your early boot up code to kick the chip into the right mode and allocate the PCI resources. You may need the VIA BIOS programmers guide for the relevant chip but if I remember rightly its all pretty trivial for the VIA. Alan
