ATA_DMA errors (and fs corruption!) (JM)

[twesky]

My laptop works fine with Fedora Core 4.  I'm not sure it's a hardware
issue, and I don't have an identical laptop to test.  Do we know the
last working stable version?

-----------------------------------------
actually, that makes a lot of sense.  my computer running FreeBSD is 
actually just an Eden 5000 V-series.  the cable is trimmed to fit the 
2.5" hard drive in the tiny case and i'm sure this is having something 
to do with the timeouts... however the harddrive is recognized as UDMA33 
but the cdrom still times out.  thanks for the input.  note: this setup 
works fine in windows... maybe someone should take a look at this 
issue?  i'm running the old 5.3-RELEASE (too lazy to update) with a VIA 
VT8231 SouthBridge (82xxxx ata controller).
