Or has the > relevant code not been touched lately? There were updates in 2.4.9-pre2 in the VIA driver, so it might be worth trying. Also disabling CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO may work, but you'll get slow performance. Afterwards, though, you can do hdparm -i /dev/hd* and cat /proc/ide/via, which will tell us interesting information, which may lead us further to solving the problem. Btw, what clock and multiplier your CPU is? -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs
