- dmi update to fix apm in Dell Inspirons 2500.
- smbfs fix for Ooops.
- mini ide update (ultra safe mode):
   * Release recognition of promise ide raid.
   * fix jiffies workaround things (ide-tape).
   * hpt37[24], don't oops if we find them
   * put another WD disk in the ide-dma black list.
   * fix Oops with hpt37x & a lot of controllers.
- 2.4.18-7mdk.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Since this kernel, my Iwill XP333r w/hpt372 onboard controller at 
least boots.

$ ls /lib/modules/2.4.18-19mdk/kernel/drivers/ide | grep hpt
hptraid.o.gz
