I had a spare CMD646 udma-card lying around, and put it in my alpha
(PWS500au). Everything boots fine, but there seems to be no HD
recognized:

block: queued sectors max/low 39013kB/13004kB, 128 slots per queue
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
CMD646: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 20
CMD646: chipset revision 1
CMD646: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
CMD646: chipset revision 0x01, MultiWord DMA Limited, IRQ workaround enabled
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0x8080-0x8087, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0x8088-0x808f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 2.88M

jurriaan@alpha:~$ cat /proc/ide/cmd64x

                                CMD646 Chipset.
--------------- Primary Channel ---------------- Secondary Channel -------------
                 enabled enabled
--------------- drive0 --------- drive1 -------- drive0 ---------- drive1 ------
DMA enabled: no no no no
DMA Mode: PIO(?) PIO(?) PIO(?) PIO(?)
PIO Mode: ? ? ? ?
                polling polling
                clear clear
                enabled enabled
CFR = 0x00, HI = 0x00, LOW = 0x00
ARTTIM23 = 0x4c, HI = 0x04, LOW = 0x0c
MRDMODE = 0x00, HI = 0x00, LOW = 0x00

Is the bios (which is x86) strictly necessary to set up the drives? I
tried searching the web for 'udma on alpha' etc. but found nothing.

Thanks,
Jurriaan
