Hi everyone, This patch is intended to fix the lockup problem that some people are experiencing with the combination of the Via 82cxxx chipset and ZIP drives. It doesn't affect other chipset drive combinations so it is safe to just apply it. It applies to kernel 2.4.14. Thanks to Skip Gaede, Timo Tera and Gadi Oxman for the suggestions...
