Re: 2.4.19 IDE Partition Check issue

[Gary White <gary@netpathway.com>]

Alan I have the same problem Just complied 2.4.10-ac1 and I it did
not help. I only have a problem if I compile in the ALI M15x3 chipset
support so I can use DMA. Without DMA the partition check zooms right
past the 2 Maxtor 120GB drives I am having a problem with.

Note: I do have an AWARD Bios and have tried the with and without
Auto-Geometry Resizing support compiled in the kernel.

Oly boots if I don't use DMA and generic controller support.
