There's and "idebus=xx" where xx is between 20 and 66 inclusive in 2.4.0-pre... If it's backported to 2.2.17preNN then it'll probably work by having an 'append="idebus=66"' in LILO or similar in GRUB. Check <linux>/Documentation/ide.txt for details (I don't have the current source myself). -- Copyright © 2000 Megalomania Industries, Inc.
