NP, but the credits all go to Doobrey. I'm just the messenger.

Doobrey wrote the patches in september 2009.
The 4-way IDE adapters that use idefix97 as the software driver are not the only ones that have this problem.
The drivers for the buddha and xsurf-cards also suffer from this, and Doobrey also wrote some patches for that cards.
The original thread at EAB where all this was discussed can be found here:
