Duh. Letmesee.. SMP=1 by default.. Mmmm... looks very bad.
On a constructive note, could there be an SMP cache-sync problem
with DMA (IDE or SCSI) ?
SMP really should be OFF by default,
especially as SMP kernels do not survive
booting on many non-SMP machines.

That's from the IDE (ATA) specs. 18" max.
The timings with DMA are *identical* to the timings with PIO,
so if it fails with DMA, it will fail with PIO as well.
Removing DMA from the kernel solves nothing there.
