It works. Thanks to all. Your (Mattia's) suggestion with the Intel PIIXn chipset was correct. But now I think the name and the description of this driver isn't very good. There are only things telling about PIO modes and nothing about DMA or supported chipsets (like ICH3M in my case). Thanks anyw

As far as I know it's an Intel i845 chipset. But there's no Intel chipset in menuconfig except PIIXn and that's not the one i need. Surprisingly it worked with kernel 2.4.20 with slight problems but at leas it wast possible. I don't know if this helps anyone to help me but here's lspci output: 00

as far as I know the '*' doesn't indicate the current state of the Drive it only indicates the standard setting of the Firmware. But some how this isn't used in my case. And I suppose that if it would be already enabled a "hdparm /dev/hda" wouldn't report this: /dev/hda: multcount= 16 (on) I
