Bug#394049: Problem identified

[Jan Harnisch <harnisch@mimed.mw.tum.de>]

Hello again,

although I was not yet able to do the test with the newest kernel, I 
have managed to locate the reason for the problem (at least on my 
machine): While both the mainboard and the harddisk support UDMA5, I 
originally had connected them with a 40-core cable. Since I replaced 
this with a 80-core, the machine runs in UDMA5 mode without error 
messages. So I guess the kernel is not to blame.
Still I think that maybe it would be a good thing to be able to override 
the kernel-selected DMA mode with a bootprompt parameter...
Greetings & best regards,

Jan
