[linuxBios] HDD init problem

[Edward J. Lee]

Hi.
Does anyone have problems using ide_init()?
While using it on IBM 123G HDDs, ide_init() sometimes
seems to run forever, (stuck in the numerous busy-waitings, i guess)
and my H/W watchdog eventually reboots the system.
Of course, in most occasions everything goes just fine.
Is there a better way of initializing HDDs?

Ed.
