Re: DMA timeouts with 2.4.22-pre6

[John Wong <kernel@implode.net>]

Thinking it may be the "fix ida dma timeout bug", I booted up 2.4.21 and 
the DMA problems were gone.

One difference in the sytems though.  With 2.4.21, I am using ACPI and APIC.  
With 2.4.22-preX, I have to set acpi=off otherwise, system interrupts get
crazy.  I tried pci=noacpi where the system is usuable for a short 
period of time and no IRQ higher than 15 are assigned.
