Oops, I forgot to mention Stefan's patch for FILO to make IDE work on the 
S2885. I think this is the one:

I think Sone had mentioned it, but was too busy at the time.

Actually I have got this fixed in my tree and have prepared it as a
bugfix release (dated Oct-31 2003).

Now I have just put this tarball at
http://te.to/~ts1/filo/filo-0.4.2.tar.bz2 .
PCI_BRUTE_SCAN option should enable PCI IDE on K8 systems.

Please test this, as I have not tested this source tree for 6 months.

It works, I have successfully used it on the Arima HDAMA.
