Steve, We have decided to move to a newer kernel (2.4.20 or greater). As a simple check, would you please give me a list of files with the CONFIG_IDE_EXT_DIRECT #ifdef so I can get a bit of assurance that I have the support in the kernel before making the move.

But I strongly recommend moving to something newer! Otherwise you only get this advice later if you run into some other problem and try to get help on the mailing list!
