FYI...
AFAIK the new Apollo south bridge, VT82C686A, won't do DMA in 2.2.x... w/o some hacking... (Folks might want a back port of 2.3/2.4 via82C586.c for 2.2)
hdparm -d1, kernel 2.2.16, gives hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error ) hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } hda: DMA disabled ide0: reset: success
