FWIW, I tried 2.2.16 + ide patches (no pci patches -- where can they be
found?), and that didn't work on my 7200/75.

I switched to 2.4 (from bitkeeper), and that didn't work initially. I
commented out the part of the driver that checks for the controller having
been disabled by the bios, and it's worked since then.

BTW, anyone have MOL working on 2.4? After it switches to its own virtual
console, it seems to just die.
