But is the drive that causes the messages on HPT366 or PIIX bus? I have no
problems with the IBM on HPT366 bus, the Seagate on PIIX IDE1 bus however
causes those warnings. Moreover, it causes them in both PIO and DMA mode.
I will try that CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ thing, though, as soon as I
boot.

AFAIK it's the same more or less with every board? BP6 with its HPT366
just takes more IRQs.

Yeah, I know that. I put the geforce on AGP, 3c905 on PCI2 and SB64
(ex1370) on PCI4 (usb disabled on BIOS). But nothing should collide with
IDE1, should it?
