It is the Intel 82801DB ICH4 chipset. I think most of the ICH's are the same on this. So are you saying this can be set in filo, or coreboot?
I think coreboot has to do it ... if the kernel can not.

Ok then, I think it may complicate things too much if we had a IDENTIFY_DRIVE command query to the drive (Note: this command query is also used for DMA settings). That would be like basicly re-writing an IDE driver??
So, I propose a global option (IDE_CABLE = 40 or 80) that can easily be adjusted from Config.lb in the targets directory, that sets the value for a simple function in src/southbridge/intel/i82801xx/i82801xx_ide.c. Does that make sense?
