Removing it breaks some devices on any controller. I don't think this one is a simple compatibility issue - its a behaviour we have done for ten years on PIIX/ICH chipsets without problems in the old IDE. Also those logs of 66 bytes overrun are worrying - the app is either issuing incorrectly sized commands, the drive is providing incorrectly sized answers or something really evil is going on in the midlayer translations. And the ICH7 is in fact the chipset I did the original testing on ... Need to work out if this is some nutty gentoo app, a quirky device we need to dig into or something else. I've asked Daniel for some first test points to try and eliminate the obvious.
