Hello,
I have a weird problem with IDE DMA on Asus Eee PC 701.
The master drive is onboard 4GB CF-card-like SSD:
ata2.00: CFA: SILICONMOTION SM223AC, , max UDMA/66
2nd drive can be added through FLASH_CON connector - physically a mini PCI-e
slot but wired to the IDE controller. The connector was not populated on my
netbook so I soldered it and plugged a 2nd drive (slave) there:
ata2.01: CFA: ASUS-PHISON SSD, TST2.04U, max UDMA/66
BIOS sees both drives and kernel too. The problem is that adding this 2nd
drive killed DMA on the 1st one. Kernel is unable to read MBR and downgrades
UDMA modes until it disables DMA completely. DMA works fine on the slave drive:

Disabling the slave drive by libata.force=2.1:disable kernel parameter is
enough for the DMA to work again on the master drive:

So it looks like configuring something on the slave drive causes it to disturb
the communication on the bus?
Forcing the slave drive to PIO does not help. What else can I try?
