 Okay. My last set of patches may have been a bit premature. As
 advertised, the 2.2.8 patch did not
 force LBA mode (since 2.2.8 doesn't use LBA), but it had the unfortunate
 side effect of forcing DMA
 on if supported by the drive, regardless of the user's config
 settings.And, of course, the 3.0 patch,
 despite my claims, DID force LBA mode. And, to be honest, they both were
 a bit over-programmed.
 
 So, here are two slimmed down patches. One for 2.2.8 and one for 3.0.
 Neither changes the user's
 flags, nor does the 3.0 force the use of LBA mode. They both simply
 check if LBA is supported according
 to the BIOS flags, and uses the LBA size if it is larger than the CHS
 size. (As stated previously, this fixes
 some of the problems with determining disk geometry. And, in case anyone
 doubts that this problem exists
 or that this patch fixes them, I have included 2 dmesg outputs, the
 first before the 2.2.8 patch and the
 second after.)
 
 If anyone can find a problem (before I do) let me know.
 
 Thanks again.
 
 Andrew Sherrod
