There is no DMA. The hardware is fully functional, as I've been using the 2.2.12 kernel driver for a couple of years (although I've always gotten the status=0x51 that IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE is suggested for). The Sandisk and Kingston come up pretty quickly. The third card, which apparently has no embedded ID, hangs the system about 60 seconds, before continuing with the same error. I've tried hda=slow, and all the permutation I can think of that would make any sense. I saw a few reports but no resolution against the 2.4.60-ac kernels. I've also applied the bk13 patches against 2.5.69 in hopes that there might be some resolution there. I'm prefectly willing to give anything anyone suggests a try. Are there any additional debugging options I can/should turn on that would help anyone debug this issue? --John
