SubjectRe: Linux Kernel 2.6.13-rc7 (WORKS) (2.6.13, DRQ/System CRASH)
I do not even have IDE Taskfile Access enabled, so how is the kernel 
printing these error messages before it freezes?

linux-2.6.13/drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c: printk(KERN_ERR
"%s: no DRQ after issuing %sWRITE%s\n",


lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk
x x[ ] IDE Taskfile Access


Anyone have any suggestions how I can solve this problem?
