I think it is still there. I use a CompactFlash Card as IDE-Drive without a pin for DMA on the CF-IDE adapter. This is inside a Jetway J7F2WE-EDEN MiniITX-Mainboard (with VIA processor). On this hardware runs UBUNTU Jaunty 9.04 with Kernel 2.6.28-11-generic. After booting the kernel immediately hangs 3-times for about 30 sec's with the following messages: [ 5.044287] ata4.00: configured for MWDMA2 [ 5.045070] sdc:<3>ata4.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen [ 35.816075] ata4.00: cmd c8/00:08:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 4096 in [ 35.816081] res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) [ 35.816206] ata4.00: status: { DRDY } [ 35.816291] ata4: soft resetting link . . .

I try to boot with kerel param "ide=nodma" and also the new "hd0=nodma" (is that correct?) but always same behavior. hdparm -i /dev/sdc outputs for DMA: DMA modes: *mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 I would be interested on a kernel patch, which does not try the various DMA-Modes. Thank You.
