SubjectRe: ide / usb problem
I also am using the cable supplied with the mobo (Abit kt7) so I do not
think it is ASUS specific. More likey it is releated to the
VIA chipset and/or driver.

If I compile kernel with "Generic PCI bus-master DMA support"
and run "hdparm -d1 /dev/hda" I get 700% performance increase
on hdparm -t benchmark and I do not get any dma BadCRC errors.

It is only when I also compile in the VIA82CXXX option that I get the
"hda: dma_intr:status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }"
"hda: dma_intr:error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }"
mesages (1000's of them).

Whether I get the messages or not, if I have dma enabled with 2.4.2
my usb mouse stops working .
