That is because it is turned OFF...........
Enjoy the crashing and destruction of your FS for wreckless behavior. That is there for a reason. You have to clear a few registers in the ISA-BRIDGE to remove the simplex PnP stuff.
You have been warned about this FOOLISH action!!!!!!
NOW, the nicer reply. Get a patch from one of the mirror sites for "LinuxIDE". The old home was at ::
http://www.dyer.vanderbilt.edu/server/udma/
This URL will report an error 401 but also present links to the mirrors.
Should you blow of this help, do not ask/bitch/complain to the list or me.
