I use a Segate ST-36530A (6,5Gb) on a via82c586 (linux 2.1.124 & 125)
If I enable ide-dma support, I get strange errors while copying files onto
that hd:

If I disabling dma-support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=n), everything is
all right (no errors (so far)).
Kernel is 2.1.124 & 125 (gcc 2.7.2.3).
What do you think ? Should the ST-36530A on the blacklist, or is it a driver
problem ?
best regards
Michael
P.S.
