Simply a result of the way the IDE bus is hooked up to the generic bus of
the Sibyte chip.  I'd have to research details if you're interested ...

The basic question is whether disk used on SiByte can be read i.e. on x86.
If not than we may have serious problems with some special commands with
current implementation (similar problem as on Atari Q40/Q60).

 I can check the GPIO attachment with 2.4 (which should behave the same
way here).  I don't have a PCI IDE board.
