Interesting... I was thinking about doing a full remove of the device at
a higher level instead but I suppose what you propose is easier.
Well, I have serious problem on a Pegasos which appeared some time
between 2.6.24 and 2.6.25-rc1: at boot I get an infinite string of 

hdb: empty DMA table?

I'm trying to bisect it right now.
Pegasos doesn't use the pmac ide which is what we were discussing. It
uses a VIA IDE which uses a normal PRD table. So something else must
have broken...
