I imagine the reset state in the spec is disabled?
Yes, you are right.
Btw, this is the doc:
http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/datashts/290550.htm
If so, then the
long-term fix is to enable these bits in the bios.
Good point. I'm looking at bochs right now: the BIOS doesn't touch
that bits. The 2 ports are enabled/disabled - using values from the
config file - by the reset function of the emulated controller
(iodev/pci_ide.cc), so they're doing the same thing I've done for
QEMU.
I'd rather not touch the BIOS, it's a bit obscure ;-)
