[MPC5200] problem running FEC and ATA

[Arnon Kaufman]

does any one succeed running a functional FEC and ATA (pata) running 
together ?
If so which version (2.6.x...) and with which architecture (powerpc or 
ppc)?.

The machine I'm working on based on v2.6.21-rc6 and another one based on 
v2.6.24-rc1, both configured with ARCH=powerpc.

my FEC introduce itself as: "PHY: f0003000:01", and not as f0003000:00, 
I've fix it by adjusting the dts file, is that ok?

I'm getting the following, when pinging the machine:

64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: icmp_seq=4401 ttl=64 time=0.249 ms
64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: icmp_seq=4402 ttl=64 time=0.285 ms

-----

The offsets and values of the corrupted data are constant (can it be the 
  microcode?)

when enabling the PATA driver and doing some Compact flash access 
operation the amount of packets corruption is getting worse.

does the pata driver needs to wait on the TIP indicator? cause it 
doesn't seems to do it.
