Recently I don't need the irqpoll anymore. Don't know why. The Ide -chip is a "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Unknown device 6101" according to lspci. There have been some bugzilla entries for this, suggesting that a kernel update had removed the problems. For me sofar no-good, neither for fc6 nor rawhide. Also the support of ICH8, for sound especially seems minimal Let's hope for some improvement. Henk
