linux 2.4.3 crashed my hard disk

[Frank Cornelis]

Hey,

After I did put in /etc/sysconfig/harddisks 
	USE_DMA=1
my system did crash very badly, I guess after my hard disks did wake up
again. For I while I though I'd lose some sectors because of this, I had
to re-install my RedHat 7.0, had a not so productive day :) But, hard
disks are OK now.
I thought I should report this.
Below there is a copy of my dmesg log.

BTW: my motherboard runs at 112 Mhz, overclocked, was 100 Mhz.
Been running this configuration over more than 2 years now without such
major problems.
Could this be the cause?

Frank.
