Re: IDE/PIIX: Trouble with DMA - OOPS without

I don't know if I still need to add evidence, but I also have a
Toshiba (tecra8000) portable with the problems described by others in
2.3.99-preX. I include OOPS in appendix which I typically reproduce by
doing /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron

My desktop SMP clone which also has IDE/PIIX does not have the
problem.

        I have a question:

Is there, while a fix might be in the make, some way to disable UDMA
or whatever setting which is suspect to cause this? Sorry if that
question was asked and answered before ... I did not find a workaround
mentioned.
