Hard-freezes system.

On a side-note, the non-libata drivers boot up, but throw tons of DMA errors after one DVD burn. The kernel I tested this on (newest I would try) is 2.6.22-rc4 with and without cfs16. I am willing to test out patches if I can get this darn controller working. My config: http://spherevision.org/sync/tmp/dot.config At the time of this freeze, the kernel was not tainted. I am running a Pentium-D 830 3.0GHz Dualcore on a ASUS P5LD2 with latest bios rev. 1804. My lspci -vvv info: http://spherevision.org/sync/tmp/lspci.out I also find it pecular that it says there is a 40wire cable; I have tried 3 different 80wire cables and it doesn't make a difference. So, yes indeed I am using proper cables, and have tried others. Just to make sure, this a brand new 20A1P burner, the old one did the same thing though. If I build pata_821x(or whatnot) as a module, system freezes after about 5 seconds after insmod, without dumping any information at all. It may say it's a RAID controller, but on this motherboard it seems to be pure passthru because there is no RAID option for this controller in the BIOS. I have also tried a few flags recommended by Alan before, which do not help. Help would be very much appreciated! Further info, if needed, just ask. -r
