What you need to do is patch your kernel with a patch available from
http://www.linuxhelp.org/linuxide. The filename you want is
2.2.10.uniform-ide-6.20.eridanus.patch.gz. The only problem with it is
that you have to downgrade your kernel to 2.2.10 in order for this patch to
work. It DOES work just fine though, I have it on my system which has an
ASUS P5A. Hope this helps
