I had that problem when i forgot to compile the piix drivers into the kernel. after fixing that, all worked fine again.
Thanks for the suggestion. I inserted this module but it made no difference. I have an Athlon processor. Do you think if I compiled PIIx into the kernel as you did, I might get a different result?
i think you'll have no piix chipset if you have an athlon ;) you have to compile your IDE chipset into the kernel, i think there are also some global options inside IDE kernel config regarding DMA.
I've tried compiling kernels with the default settings, to no avail. This is desperately frustrating!
best regards
Setting the DMA related options to be built directly into the kernel, not as modules solved this problem.
Thank you so much Markus, this head can stop bashing walls!

Hmm, I will take another look at that... hope that's it! Thanks
For the stock kernels, initrd must preload the modules making them available to the kernel early on, which makes DMA usable. In a self compiled one the loading must be too late.
