running under 2.4.21-pre4-ac1 and I get continual errors of:

May 29 12:42:42 calamari kernel: hde: sata_error = 0x00000000, watchdog
= 0, siimage_mmio_ide_dma_test_irq
May 29 12:42:42 calamari kernel: hdg: sata_error = 0x00000000, watchdog
= 0, siimage_mmio_ide_dma_test_irq

as soon as I turn dma on. 

If I remove the printk from siimage.c they seem to run fine, with good
performance, so I wonder if this error might be bogus?
