Re: SC1200 and framebuffer under 2.4.22 without having vga-bios or VSA-bios is up

[Brian G. Rhodes]

There is support for IDE DMA on the geode in 2.4.19+.  National also has a
patch for 2.4.17 which I believe I have tried on 2.4.17-2.4.21.  Though
with the national driver you cannot do DMA with the 66mhz bus speed.
