IDE trouble under 2.2.19pre16 with Hedrick's IDE patch

[Shane Wegner]

Hi,

Whenever I write a substantial amount of data (200mb) to
disk, I get these messages.  The disks lock for about 10
seconds and then come back for about 10 seconds again. 
This continues until the data is successfully written.

ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hde: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hde: DMA disabled
hde: timeout waiting for DMA
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14

hde: timeout waiting for DMA
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hde: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

Does anyone happen to know what I can do to fix this?  It
happens on Linux 2.4.2 as well.  It's an HPT370 controler
on-board.  Here is the relevant information.

It looks like you have set your drive for a dma mode it doesn't support.

No this error is not by the wrong DMA settings.  If you have a drive in dma 
mode 5 and the controller does not support it, the kernel will give you a 
proper error saying that this dma mode is not supported by the 
controller.  This is most likly something with the kernel.  I'd try 
upgrading to the latest 2.4.2-ac?? series.

Let me know if I'm mistaken about this one guys...
