There are some other issues with the legacy IDE on the Intel PIIX which likely affect other systems such as Alpha as well. I think I solved that so it's now time to tackle the IRQ stuff. Even without your i8259 stuff there are some strange things going on currently: [...] hda: Maxtor 31536H2, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: max request size: 128KiB hda: 30015216 sectors (15367 MB) w/512KiB Cache, CHS=29777/16/63, UDMA(33) hda: cache flushes not supported hda: hda1 hda2 mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice TCP cubic registered NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 17 NET: Registered protocol family 15 Time: MIPS clocksource has been installed.
