UDMA on Dell Inspiron 8000

[Brian J. Conway]

Greetings, I've been running Mandrake 8.0 on a new Dell Inspiron 8000 for
the past two weeks, and I was curious whether there's any reason that
autodma doesn't work for the IBM drive included with it, or whether it's
just a matter of not having a trusted/recognized IDE controller/drive
combination.  I'm running 2.4.6-pre2, and enabling DMA manually works
great and performance is improved drastically (of course).  Here's the
relevant portions of dmesg:

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
