setup-pci is for SFF8038i devices. It therefore knows that for assigned resources they must be I/O. It also assumes that zero is not a valid I/O port just like zero is not a valid IRQ. Stick a real IDE resource at zero and drivers/ide can't cope.
But 0 _is_ a valid PCI I/O address. Do we now have to start using "virtual I/O addresses", analogue to the IRQ situation, or can these bad assumptions be fixed instead? Segher
