In fact, I found the patch that makes Linux force the IDE controllers on in the LinuxBIOS -> kernel configuration. I forgot about that and assumed RedBoot would just work because the Linux kernel just worked. Alright, I'll get something in and working real soon, and if there's a good generic way to do so on all x86s, maybe it'd be worth it to fill in that HAL_IDE_INIT macro. Thanks again, you probably just saved me days :) - Adam
