The IDE mystery remains. If you are one of the folks seeing odd errors
from multimode write errors leading to the kernel spotting a buffer list
inconsistency the kernel will now log a bit more detail. Also try
hdparm -m0 /dev/hda and report if that makes it behave. It seems to affect
a very small number of people only so the more info the better as I'd prefer
it affected nobody.
