Hmm, should I say "Thanks, Santa!", or is this a completely different problem 
from the one I reported on Saturday 24th May:

"[BUG] IDE DMA timeout, then crash on reenable (2.4.20-SMP)"?

If this fix *is* related to my bug report then is there any way that I can test 
this, now that we know what might be causing it? My usual way of reproducing it 
is "boot, then wait for 28+ days of uptime", which doesn't sound like a part of 
a plan to get 2.4.21 out the door...

Cheers,
Chris

Neither -rc5, nor a patch by Ivan, nor both, can get UDMA to turn on
automatically at boot time on my machine. This is a 466MHz DS10 Alphaserver,
2GB RAM, ALI 1543 IDE controller that is capable of UDMA2. hdparm can turn
on multiword DMA but not UDMA.

Hope this helps,

Still no Radeon 9k support ?  :-)
Still no -march=pentium(x) support ?   :-)
GCC 3.3 inline ?  hint -finline-limit and/or compiler.h    :-)

It's be nice if we could also have the definition of
PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237 ?
