Since I first tried the 2.5.x serie (with 2.5.3), I got errors when
reading from my CD-ROM :

*** I didn't have these errors with 2.4.17 ***
My CD-ROM is a generic one (I don't have physical access to the
box now, but if requested I will tell you more).
When doing "cat /mnt/cdrom/* >/dev/null" I can see I/O errors
reported by cat but only on the 2.5.X serie.
The problem occurs on 2.5.3 and 2.5.4-pre1 (without any patch
applied). I didn't tried with versions between 2.5.0 and 2.5.3.
I can see this from the boot log (I compiled with the VIA VT82Cxxxx driver)

What is funny is that if I switch DMA on, the errors are not reported
anymore on dmesg, but 'cat' continues to see IO errors (and eventually
the IO are locked).
Should I try the IDE patch?
Please CC me, I'm just read the list on archives...
