Hi,
I have my Quantum on ide2 (marked ide3 on the board). I give the following option to
the kernel when booting:
ide2=0xac00,0xb002,11
Now it starts and recognises the HDD (as /dev/hde). Note that it isn't ATA66 (just
PIO). You have to patch the kernel for that (I use 2.2.14).
regards,
Arjan
PS. I haven't applied the patch since it gave me DMA timeouts...
