2.5.27 IDE: problems, again.

Hi,

I'm running the latest (BK head) 2.5 kernel (up to, and including
IDE-clean 100), on my VAIO C1VE laptop:
        00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)

With PIIX chipset support & autodma, the kernel halts right after the
boot, while searching init on the disk. Must happen somewhere with
interrupts disabled (no sysrq, no kbd leds etc).

Disabling PIIX chipset support & dma makes the kernel survive for
some longer time (between 10 seconds and 2-3 minutes), but it will
eventually halt, this time CORRUPTING THE DATA!

Right now I'm trying to recover my disk partition...

Stelian, more and more enclined to switch to the IDE 2.4 back^H^H^H^Hforward
port.
