Hi,
The problem with ALI IDE detection on sparc seems to be a variation of the same problem with CMD64x chipset, which was "solved" before by compiling the corresponding module into the kernel. After some experimenting I was able to build a kernel-image with _all_ IDE stuff compiled as modules, which works fine on my Ultra5 with CMD64x controller [0]. I would appreciate if you could test it on your hardware to see if it improves the situation. If you could confirm that it fails with 2.4.27-2 currently in the archive, but works with my image, it would be great.
