I've now completed a successful Win2k install in PCI mode (not sure when
that started working :) ), and I've seen this issue with the IDE
controllers too. Everything seems to be working regardless though. I can
also confirm that the 4Mb video RAM patch committed a couple of hours
ago fixes the Cirrus Logic video with Win2k - it detected the card at
install and seems to be running quite happily with the standard driver
that ships with Win2k.

Thanks
