With kernet 2.2.18 DMA mode for my harddisks worked just fine, 
getting IDE DMA working on an AMD7409 controller with kernel 2.4.2 is a problem.

questions:
Why is DMA disabled on revision < C4?
How can I gat DMA working again?

The Information:

in 2.2.18 I get:
--------- dmesg: ----------
PCI_IDE: unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device 39, VID=1022, DID=7409
PCI_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio

hylke:/home/hylke# hdparm -v /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

hylke:/home/hylke# hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

----------------------------

All was fine.
I compiled 2.4.2, with:

	CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
	CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
	CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
	CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
	CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
	CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_WIP=y
	CONFIG_AMD7409_OVERRIDE=y
	CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
	CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB=y

and I get:

--------- dmesg: ----------

My harddisk speed is down to 25%...
