Ok, folks, it's time for a summary. Since my last post, I've had time to
experiment a bit more, and I've also had some private communication with
Vojtech.
First, I would like to say that you do need quite a bit of bad luck (or
hardware) to have the same problems I did. Linux 2.4, VIA and IDE wo

I should also add that the 3.11 driver seems to make things better, but
not yet perfect. My intuition tells me that I get CRC errors much sooner
with 2.1e than with 3.11.
Has the timings changed from 2.1e to 3.11, and would it be easy to modify
3.11 to get extra safe/paranoid, but less high perf

I have now tried the SAMSUNG VG34323A disk with two other controllers at
home (Promise ATA100 an VIA vt82c686a rev 0x22, both on an ASUS A7V
motherboard), and there are no problems to be found with DMA enabled.
Streaming 10 MB/s without glitches.
However, writing to the SAMSUNG VG34323A disk with

There are several people who have reported that the 2.4.0 VIA IDE driver
trashes hard disks like that. The 2.2 one also did this sometimes but only

I've never seen anything like it before, which I'm happy for. The system
had been running a standard RedHat 7 kernel for days without any problems,
but who wants to run a 2.2 kernel? I compiled 2.4.0 for it, rebooted, and
blam! The RedHat init stripts got to the "remounting root read-write"
