Re: [BUG] 2.4 series: IDE driver

[Ro0tSiEgE <lkml@ro0tsiege.org>]

I own an HP Pavilion ze4145 notebook, and the ALi5x3 chipset bombs after about 
30-40mins of use with "hda: lost interrupt" commands, and this continues 
until I cut the power, though sometimes after about an hour it will reset and 
go on, but it is very iffy. I noticed that "32-bit I/O" was disabled by 
default in the BIOS, however I have enabled it. Is this a problem in the 
kernels ALi drivers or what? The XP install that came with it works fine. 
What suggestions to fixing this? Thanks
