IDE problems with 2.3.49?- same with 2.2.15pre3

Hi,

I just finished installing linuxppc 2000 on my brand new G4 450MHz box and
every time I try to boot into my linux side with Bootx 1.2fc1 I get the
exact same error messages:

hdc: lost interrupt
hdd: lost interrupt

and on top of that

usbcore: USB device not responding, giving up (error=-101).

The funny thing is that the installation from the ramdisk went fine and the
keyboard and things worked with no problem.

I have tried the hda=noautotune .. hdb= ... hdc= to no avail.

Is there something different about recent G4 450s that I need to worry about?

Thanks,

Kevin

I've been trying to get version 2.3.49 booted on my B&W G3 (USB/IDE).

It can probe the IDE drives, and they spin up, but it isn't getting
interrupts from IDE0:

hda: lost interrupt
hda: lost interrupt
	.
	.
hdb: lost interrupt
hdb: lost interrupt

I have been able to boot with a ram disk, and the keyboard works,
so interrupts, in general, are working.

At this point, the problem seems to be isolated to IDE.
Has anyone had success with this?

Btw, I got the kernel from fsmlabs' web-site. It's rtlinux v3 pre 4.
