Bug#306634: kernel: Cannot set DMA on any disk (HDs or CD-drives)

[Jorge Juan <jjchico@dte.us.es>]

The proposed solution in the previous post works for current Sarge stock
kernel 2.6.8-3-686-smp.

I have re-compiled from the source package changing just two options to
"y":

< CONFIG_IDE=m   > CONFIG_IDE=y
< CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=m  > CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y

Current Ubuntu dapper kernels seems to use the same solution.

May be it is only an issue when booting from scsi or a problem about the
order in which IDE and SATA subsystems are initialized. It may be
affecting a lot of ICH5 users looking at the reports in Google.

Is it possible to set these two options in kernel config for the next
official kernel revision?

Cheers

jorge.
