Hi!

Lot of users are reporting seriour problems with pdc202xx_old ide pci
driver. Enabling DMA on any device related with this driver makes the
system unusable. 

This seems to happen in all the 2.6.x kernel series.

More info on Kerneltrap: http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3040
More info on Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2494

I hope someone can fix this, 'cause there's a lot of people using these
ide controllers.

Adolfo González

I have the similar problem, but it only shows when doing really big file
transfers (several tens of gigabytes), not in normal usage.. DMA is
activated.
