No, this patch doesn't make any difference in IDE behaviour.
But I had to boot with 'init=/bin/sh' to do the tests, the system
stopped already during the rc-scripts with this patch...

Can this problem be caused by hardware and/or BIOS ?
All the reports I have seen have been with Gigabyte 586DX boards,
and there have been reports with other boards where IDE seems to work.
