kernel 2.4.20 dma problem

[Tom Allison <tallison@tacocat.net>]

I recently moved from 2.4.18 to 2.4.20 in the debian packages for kernel-image.

I'm now getting hit with a pile of dma seek/write errors on at least one 
machine.  And lost&found it getting files!  So this is a real problem.

lilo.conf has and append=/dev/hda=autotune which has been there for about 3 
years now.

hdparm isn't even installed.

Unless there is something that I'm missing, I think that this is a real bug 
in the kernel-image for the K7 build.
