Bug#289770: kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686: 2.6.10 fails to set up DMA on my IBM thinkpad

[Philip Armstrong <phil@kantaka.co.uk>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686
Version: 2.6.10-3
Severity: normal

I have a thinkpad 600E. In the 2.6.8 Debian kernel, DMA is correctly
set up for the hard drive and DVD-ROM (hda and hdb respectively). In
both 2.6.9 and 2.6.10, the kernel doesn't believe that DMA is
available, although according the hdparm, the hard drive thinks that
it is in UDMA mode 2.

Needless to say, this has an unfortunate effect on the performance of
the laptop!

I was going to add this report to a similar bug reported against an
earlier kernel, but couldn't find it. Besides, 2.6.10 still has the
bug so...

Any suggestions appreciated.

cheers,

Phil
