Without seeing the schematics, I can't be sure -- but did you
double check that you have the right INT# pin going to the right IRQ?

I'm not intimately familar with the Silicon Image IDE controllers, so
I'll just take it for granted that you everything that you've done to
the driver is OK.  I'd always suggest starting with the reference driver
though and modifying after you know it's working.  For all I know, the
reason that you may not be getting the DMA interrupt back is because
something you've done to the driver is hosing the transfers.  I'm not
saying that for certain, but since it's not really possible for me to
know one way or the other, it has to be left to possibility.

Unfortunately, since I don't have any of the SI documentation, the dumps
are not really too useful.  Since PIO seems to be working, things must
be at least somewhat OK.  There can be a lot of reasons that the DMA
transfers aren't working right though.  Could be driver problems, could
be a setup problem, could be a routing problem on the board, etc.
First, I would just confirm that the interrupt is working as expected.
You can quickly write hack a driver to report when an interrupt comes
in on IRQ 25 and then put a change wire to the pin and bounce it low to
see what happens.  If the interrupt is working, then you should probably
try lowering the transfer speed and see if that improves things any.  If
that does, then you know you have some signal integrity problems that
you need to look at.  If not, it's probably something busted in the
driver.

Did you have any luck with the SCSI controller?
