With 2.5.59-mm4 I've seen DMA being disabled. I don't know if this is occuring
in vanilla 2.5.59.
Also, the UDMA33 is wrong, this A7M266-D supports UDMA100 and the drive itself
is a UDMA(133) but since ive not heard of any UDMA133 controllers it's using
100.

You can't have DMA disabled and still be doing UDMA33

That driver is just a bit noisy i believe, kind of like the VIA one.
Have you tried latest 2.4-ac's IDE code? It looks like a fair chunk of
amd74xx came into 2.5 from somewhere, possibly -ac
