I'm on it. Had some intermittent successes and thought to have a correct patch until today (one 2002 week with ATA100)... But I had a bugreport today and same dma problems on my machine after a BIOS flashing and a new drive in the system. Currently in heavy debugging.
PB: chip seems to init itself correctly on extended periods of time on my config! Makes testing rather difficult :-(
For example, with the *exact* same code this evening I had: - a system freeze just after /sbin/init load, - a crash after ext3 fs errors before init, - a somewhat working boot (some weird library errors caused "ip" to not work), - a fully functionnal system (no error reported, some file copies, reboot with ide=nodma, e2fsck -f -> no error).
If you have a system you can test on without fear of breaking things I'll send you patches as soon as they'll work again on my config. Better if you want to proof-read the code : http://gyver.homeip.net/sis5513/index.html
