[2.6.0-test11][patch] no DRQ after issuing WRITE

[Daniel Tram Lux]

Hi,

I had the following problem:


hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
ide0: reset: success
hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
ide0: reset: success 


the following patch cured this problem...

Regards

Daniel Lux
