Can you try and send along 'lspci' from a runnign system with this controller, to see whether it gets a correct interrupt assigned? > hde is the disk connected to the ACARD ide controller card, about the card > is said in dmesg: > .. > AEC 6260R: IDE controller on PCI bus 01 dev 10 > AEC 6260R: chipset revision 1 > AEC 6260R: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later > AEC 6260R: ROM enabled at 0x80890000 > .. > during installation I found with > cat /proc/pci > .. > bus 1, device 2, function 0: > SCSI storage controller: Artop Electronics Corp ATP 860 (rev1) > IRQ 23 What does this SCSI controller have to do with the IDE controller above? > I've updated the card's firmware under mac os to version 3.21.
