Hi,
We have the current problem of ide dma possibly tossing out a complete
request, when we hit a dma timout. In this case, what we really want to
do is retry the request in pio mode and revert to normal dma operations

Hi folks,
It took me quite some time to recognize what has changed between 2.4.4
and 2.4.5 and why my CD drives were not accessable: Somehow the sequence
of SCSI devices has been changed.
For 2.4.4 the IDE SCSI emulation was scsibus0, my Adaptec 39160 was
scsibus1 and scsibus2.
