beginning with 2.4.21-pre1 the kernel disables DMA on my regular ATA harddrives.

Upto 2.4.20 (Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31) there have never been any problems, now I get

I think that they are superflous debugging messages, and that DMA is
actually re-enabled silently afterwards. I could be wrong, though.

I have to check again, but a preliminary stress test (bonnie++) shows 95 % cpu usage.
