Please narrow down kernel version if you want your problem to be cared.
Try 2.4.19, 2.4.20. There are also intermediate prepatches at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/old/
dmesg output and .config can also be useful.

getting 38MB/s on my main system disk (IBM Deskstar 60gxp), and 35 for

controller (ASUS A7V266-E motherboard), and the others are on a PROMISE
2069 UDMA133 controller. However, with 2.4.21 and 2.4.22, it will not
set the using_dma flag for my IBM drive, but sets it for the others,
which now get sustained transfer rates of 46MB/s or greater. I'm using
the same options for all 3 kernels (at least, for the ATA/IDE options).
Any help would be appreciated, and I'll see if maybe I could do
something with it when I get time.
