I reported this before and got the answer that to fix this, recent changes in the IDE code would have to be reverted. Apparently I was unreasonably hasty in assuming that that would be done now that the need to do it has been established. I would appreciate it if the fix would be integrated into 2.5.70. Amazing: the only hardware components in my machine that actually work as expected with recent Linux 2.5 kernels are the network cards, the RAM and the keyboard, and I had to replace a tulip card with an eepro100 for that. Even the CPU appears to run too hot with Linux, causing the system to boot spontaneously under load, and because ACPI is terminally broken in Linux and has been every time I tried it, I can't do much about it. Firewire does not like me (modprobe eth1394 -> oops), IDE loses interrupts (see above), my USB mouse stops working as soon as I plug in my USB hard disk (which works fine on my notebook and under Windows), using my IDE CD-R causes the machine to freeze while cdrecord does OTP, finalizing or eject. The nvidia graphics card takes major patching to work at all with X, and all of these components are well-known brand components from tier 1 suppliers that were chosen for reliability and market penetration over price. I envy people who can still evangelize Linux under circumstances like this. I sure as hell can not.
