Hi Michael,

Many thanks for the fix. I built a 3.1 kernel with it applied, and my
machine now sees both hard drives when 1.5Gb of RAM is installed. I
pushed the machine pretty hard with a bunch of parallel kernel builds
until top showed over 1Gb of RAM in use and saw no signs of trouble.

Regards,

Chris
