Just to tell you that :

        1) I applied the 2.2.14pre4 prepide-patch on a clean
        linux 2.2.14 tree. Effectively the ppc part is in and
        not the ide-pci.c, ide-probe.c, and sl82c105.c
        2) BUT : after applying the missing part of the patches
        the behavior is absolutely identical!!!

hdc : lost interrupt...

any other hints?

Since you have the old defective MCP750, you can either return it or apply
the 99% workaround of reprogramming the level/edge triggering on the VIA as
you've done before.  The patch does work on all MCG IDE capable hardware
except the revs of the MCP750 that should no longer be used by customers.

No. That is not so simple : I have also a REV D board that behaves
exactly
the same way. If you want I can send you my .config file and the binary.
Also remember that I managed to have the same linux 2.2.10 image 
to run on both platforms...

Please send both and cc: mporter@mcg.mot.com

The test platform was a Rev. D MCP750 with multiple IDE drives on hdc/hdd
and a SanDisk in the onboard CF socket (hda).

I'll set this up again on a Rev. D to see if I can recreate it here. I can
only suspect a .config file at this point.  Especially since this patch
is already in the Debian/PPC disty and I've installed whole systems to
IDE drives with no problems. :-/
