After booting the patched kernel, the syslog file showed: hdc: UDMA/66 mode selected "hdparm -I" reported that the drive was set to "udma4". On accessing the DVD, the kernel panicked. Here's the main output from netconsole: hdc: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x40 <3>{ LastFailedSense=0x04 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown hdc: DMA disabled ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at drivers/ide/ide-io.c:872! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/ide1/1.0/block/hdc/size After booting the kernel and before doing the test I had checked with "uname -a" that this really was the newly compiled kernel. After reboot I checked that ide-iops.o existed and had a modification time later than the moment I applied your patch. Also, the new vmlinuz is 64 bytes shorter than the unpatched one. Therefore I don't think I made some silly mistake which led to the patch being ignored. The offer for testing patches remains open :-).
