Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-25-686

When attempting to boot Dapper using the SiS-5513 IDE chipset (very common SiS chipset) using kernel 2.6.15-25 or 2.6.15-23, I receive a lot of "lost interrupt" errors from both of my HDDs and Dapper hangs and will not boot past "Loading Hardware Drivers".

I upgraded from Breezy, so when I boot from the 2.6.12-10 kernel, the hard drives all work fine. Looks like an incompatibility with my IDE chipset and the 2.6.15 kernels, for some reason. More hardware information to follow.

Using noapic allows me to boot (hooray), however it takes a very long time, and DMA is disabled for my hard drive. Once I'm fully booted, I can enable DMA.

Error while booting is:
[17179605.616000] hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x60
[17179605.616000] hda: DMA timeout retry
[17179605.616000] hda: timeout waiting for DMA

[17179687.336000] hdb: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x60
[17179687.336000] hdb: DMA timeout retry
[17179687.336000] hdb: timeout waiting for DMA

Takes around 5 minutes to clear this error while booting. Earlier kernel 2.6.12-10 does not have this problem, and boots much more quickly. DMA is enabled with the earlier kernel.
