I don't believe this patch is in 2.1.xxx since I still have problems with
my floppy running 2.1.111.

I have put a patch for the problem on my home page at
http://www.linux-hw.com/~eric . The URL attached shows the origin of the
patch (all I did was apply his changes to the 2.0.35 kernel, compile,
test, and then diff it).

the problem is that the ISA DMA controller was not being initialized. I just
keep on seeing people with those problems, and here's the solution. Maybe
