Greetings, I've been running Mandrake 8.0 on a new Dell Inspiron 8000 for
the past two weeks, and I was curious whether there's any reason that
autodma doesn't work for the IBM drive included with it, or whether it's
just a matter of not having a trusted/recognized IDE controller/drive
combination. I'm running 2.4.6-pre2, and enabling DMA manually works
great and performance is improved drastically (of course). Here's the
relevant portions of dmesg:

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with
idebus=xx
PCI_IDE: unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device f9, VID=8086,

PCI_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

If there's anything else that might be useful, please CC me in the email.
