If by "trying them out" you mean dropping them in the drivers/ide subdirectory of the 2.4.0 source and rebuilding the kernel, then they still cause my machine to give CRC errors.
I'm running with an Abit K7 (uses via82c686a in southbridge) with IBM deskstar 8.4gb disks (DHEA-38451) as masters in ide0 and 1. They only do UDMA mode 2. I am not overclocking or anything - all should be running at default speeds with an Athlon 900.
Just to be clear - I am NOT getting any errors when I switch back to the 2.2.17 kernel (debian standard) - with a 2.4.0 kernel they occur every few minutes when there is significant disk activity.
