What happens if you make a backup of your partition table, enable dma in your bios, reboot using a boot cd/floppy and restore your partition table from the backup?

Doesnt seem to make any difference it still comes back with the same error
I installed a stable 2.6.8 and it works, but lots of other stuff is broken. However dmesg contains a different id section for the ide controller.
Hmmm spooky , that has always worked for me....Did you put the modifications at the top of the list ? and are you sure you have an Intel IDE controller ? via's need via82cxxx and AMD's need amd74xx
I do vaguely remember something changing between Ubuntu Hoary and Breezy which would coincide nicely with your experience between 2.6.8 and 2.6.15 (breezy is on 2.6.12) But I cannot for the life of me remember what I had to do.
Ok, I have this EXACT problem at work at the moment and I know the solution - DMA is not enabled in my Bios... now, I can enable that in my bios, but then my disk partition numbering moves around randomly - by randomly I mean that I cant get lilo to find the relevant part... but thats my own problem.
