All I can say right now is that enabling DMA on a 440LX chipset with
2.4.0-test12  or any other kernel I can remember has caused DMA timeout
and ide-reset problems.  Disabling dma on the harddrives doesn't help
that much either, I still get ide resets.   What I'm looking for right
now is some information on how to log what the kernel recieves from the
harddrive and possibly what it sends so I can give rik some better
information on what's going on in this chipset.  Thanks.

Anyone with a PIIX4,PIIX4AB,PIIX4EB has a hardware bug.
If many of the chipset makers followed and reverse engineered their stuff
against that bug then ths explains all of the timeout issues.

I am working on a fix, but do not have one yet.

Cheers,
