Re: DEC PWS500au (MiataGL) EIDE Issues

I also tried plugging in a CF-IDE adapter directly in to the port, but that
didn't help, either. I didn't get the long pauses while the kernel retries,
but while I do get a detection, during boot (with weird geometry), the
installer refuses to see the disk.

I picked up an LSI 53c876 dual-port PCI-X SCSI HBA, from my house, to try
that this evening. I know that the '876 isn't directly supported, but
figured that it was worth a shot. I also grabbed an Adaptec 2940UW.

Thanks!
