Saw in drivers/block/Config.in that IDE DMA code was buggy and had
not been enabled in 2.1.111. I must confess to having seen no
problems on this machine (can't remember whether it's HX or TX
Intel chipset), Quantum Fireball SE 8.4A using Ultra-DMA on /dev/hdc
and an older Seagate ST32140A on /dev/hda, Intel P233MMX, Gigabyte
GA-586TX2 m/b, no SCSI anywhere.

Was this intentional? Config.in hacked here to enable DMA again.
