The board is an ECS 755-A2, looks like the IDE controller is a SIS 964

no dmesg other than the above "waiting for device /dev/hda1 to appear"
which seems to follow the "Loading reiserfs" message.

I recently bought a system with the SIS965 chipset. The latest Suse and
Slackware distros wouldn't install.

I did get Ubuntu 5.10 working but had to patch the kernel to enable DMA
for my IDE controller.
