I see that to. I was wondering what are these files.
The thing seems to be mounting kernel error disapeared now as I
remember. That may be the source of problem. I think it should error
and reset kernel IDE driver to use non-DMA mode.
(So no need for my patch in a sense. This relied on kernel error and
remount.)
By the way, for boot-loader kernel, do we care about performance gain of
DMA? If not disable them all together for stability.
Or should we have sleep inserted after mount/umount to stabilize system?
