I downloaded 2.4.8, and changed only CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT34X=y,
and I get the same thing.


Hey, this kernel compiling thign sure beats work (ahem).
And sure enough, comparing the 2.5 and 2.4 ide_build_dmatable

int ide_build_dmatable(ide_drive_t *drive, struct request *rq,
                       ide_dma_action_t func)

int ide_build_dmatable (ide_drive_t *drive, ide_dma_action_t func)



Guess I should motivate myself to apply the patch suggested by Dave.
