I'm running 2.4.21 on this particular machine, and know it worked under
2.4.20.
Bus 0, device 31, function 1:
IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801DB ICH4 IDE (rev 1).
IRQ 10.
I/O at 0xf000 [0xf00f].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x20000000 [0x200003ff].
mike:~# hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 3 (32-bit w/sync)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
mike:~# hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.37 seconds =345.95 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.88 seconds = 34.04 MB/sec
ASUS P4B533 here, and other similar machines work as well.
