Sorry, I meant that no existing board supported by coreboot has IDE and Flash interface wired at the same time currently.
Ah right! No, I haven't seen that. Seems a little unlikely because IDE would be PIO only.
Does your comment still apply then in relation to enable_ide existence perhaps?
Guess not. I think the motivation for enable_ide is simply one of consistency. Most chipsets do not allow the IDE PCI device to be hidden completely so enable_ide was added to control how it gets configured.
How is the selection between CF and IDE header done on those ALIX boards?
They're just parallell, and there's a master/slave jumper for the CF.
