Ben,

On  22 Sep, this message from Benjamin Herrenschmidt echoed through cyberspace:

The pci_enable_device() in your changeset is not enough, unfortunately.
My Promise Ultra66 (which others, including Andre Hedrick also use)
doesn't identify as an IDE storage controller:

[mlan at piglet ~]$ lspci
00:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc. Bandit PowerPC host bridge (rev 03)
00:0d.0 Unknown mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. 20262 (rev 01)

Would it be possible to select on mass storage in general? If that is an
'official' classification, that is...
