Things have been changing a lot in the 2.4 ide driver. Try Alan's ac kernel. That's where all of the ide bug fixing is being done.
1)Apply ac patch - cd ~ - wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.4/2.4.20/patch-2.4.20-ac1.bz2 - cd /usr/src/ - cp -a linux-2.4.20 linux-2.4.20-ac1 - cd linux-2.4.20-ac1 - bzcat ~/patch-2.4.20-ac1.bz2| patch -p1 2)Compile and install kernel - cp .config 1 - make mrproper - cp 1 .config - make oldconfig - make dep bzImage modules modules_install install 3)If you still have issues send an email to the list with 2.4.20-ac1 in the subject. Include: - ide section of dmesg - output of "hdparm -vi <drive>" - results of "hdparm -d 1 <drive>" including any thing that shows up in dmesg afterwards.
