Since the EXTRAVERSION is -rc1 already in BK, I did try 2.4.20-current
again - just to see that mwdma disk with piix4 is still broken as in
2.4.19. I will continue using 2.4.18 but here are the details again.

I have 3 hard disks an 1 cdrom. 2 quantums in udma mode on first
channel, toshiba cdrom and 2.5G mwdma seagate on second channel:

PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39

PIIX4: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later

hdd: 4996476 sectors (2558 MB), CHS=4956/16/63, DMA

hdd is the problematic one. When I put any heavy disk load on it, the
computer just hangs in 2.4.19 and later. It is OK in 2.4.18 and below.
The drive is using mwdma2 mode (hdparm -i from 2.4.18):

Model=ST32531A, FwRev=0.62, SerialNo=VE047143
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs RotSpdTol>.5% }

CurCHS=4956/16/63, CurSects=4996476, LBA=yes, LBAsects=4996476
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:383,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio3 pio4
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 *mdma2
AdvancedPM=no

PIIX chipset support and tuning is on, as it has been for a long time
since BIOS programs very slow non-udma dma modes.
