I have a VT82C686 motherboard. It has one UDMA-100 slot and two
regular IDE slots. I have an IBM DTTA-371440 (about 18 months old) as
hda (only fat32 filesystems), and an IBM DTLA-307030 as hde
(i.e. plugged into the UDMA-100 slot). I've never seen any problems
with DMA on the newer drive, but if I turn on DMA and do anything with
the older drive, I get stuff like this:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0:hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
The driver attempts to reset ide0 a few times, gets more of the above,
then gives up with an I/O error.
I've been seeing these problems as long as I've been tracking the 2.3
series, up to and including 2.4.0. I can't boot a 2.2 kernel on this
machine to compare, as it doesn't recognise hde (which is where Linux
lives).
Here's the output of lspci under 2.4.0, in case it's useful:

If you need any more information, I can dig it out.
