I've got 2.4.21 and the IDE/DMA seems to be fine.

Sorry one more question to annoy everybody with, I have installed a new 80gb seagate drive and the problem is when I copy something to or from it I am getting a woeful 3 mb/sec transfer speed.


Are you running it under 2.4.21?  I've had really slow speeds on HDD access
under 2.4.21, and I'm told it's because something got broken in IDE DMA in
that kernel version.

Luckily the machine I'm running it on is only my firewall, so HDD speed
isn't important.
