There are LOTS of differences...  Unfortunately, I do not understand that much
of the kernel...

As a response to Ben's comment about the io addresses: I added a printk to
mediabay.c to check the ide base addresses, and comparing kernel.org's and
paulus' dmesg output, it results in:

2.2.10 from kernel.org:
ide0 at 0xf3020000-0xf3020007,0xf3020160 on irq 13
...
mediabay: 0: base=0xf3021000 irq=14 idx=-1
mediabay: 1: base=0xd080a000 irq=78 idx=-1

2.2.10 form the paulus dir:
ide0 at 0xf5020000-0xf5020007,0xf5020160 on irq 13
...
mediabay: 0: base=0xf5021000 irq=14 idx=-1
mediabay: 1: base=0xd280a000 irq=78 idx=-1

Checking the diffs, I noticed that in arch/ppc/pmac_setup.c and
drivers/block/ide_pmac.c some code was adden in the "paulus" versions,
especially some adds of "_IO_BASE".  Might this be a source of the problems?

Thanks, Albrecht.
