Thanks, now I am able to mount the hard disk partitions and read
them. But, as I expected, I get a lot of "lost interrupt" both in the host
and in the ebsa285.
Is there any way to avoid that withou involving the host kernel? Right now
I am just using another interrupt to access the IDE, but I wonder if there
is a better way. Is there any way that the ebsa285 could know that the
hard disk is in use? I want the access to the hard disk from the ebsa285
to the IDE will be completely transparent to the host, even if the access
is really slow.
Thanks again for the help,
-Jesus
