I've got a Gateway here with a Intel 815 chipset running 2.2.18. Inside
it's a PIII 733 with 512MB and a Quantum lct15 drive.
The problem is that the IDE driver doesn't recognize the IDE
conroller, so DMA isn't enabled leading to some poor drive
performance. Here's the relevant sections from lspci -v and the boot
logs, any chance of getting DMA working? Is it safe to use hdparm to
turn it on? The drive should be capable of 10-20MB/s, but I'm
only getting about 4MB/s with hdparm. :-(
