Could you report the chip set type and revision? Quote the corresponding
parts from the "lspci -v" output, please. I've been using PC Chips main
boards with VIA chip sets without IDE difficulties ever since I bought
one of those in fall 1998. (VIA Apollo MVP3 AGP, VT82C598 + VT82C586
north+south bridges), both PC Chips M577 and Tyan Trinity S1590S.
