I'm slowly working through fixing the new BIOS behaviour. For your case
2.4.19-ac1 ought to do the job. 2.4.19-ac2 fixed it but has some rather
dramatic side effects. 2.4.19-ac3 is a more invasive but more correct
proposed answer..



-ac1 seems to work, but I don't really understand how. I've looked
through the drivers/ide and arch/i386 changes, but I don't see what
makes the difference.
