I get hde/hdg: lost interrupt messages when booting with 2.4.7/8.
There are two IBM DTLA-307030 drives on the HPT370 interface (m/b is
Abit KA7-100).
2.4.6-ac5 (which I had been using for quite a while) does not have this
problem.

The fixes you need to run certain HPT cards with certain drives (HPT370
included) are not in the Linus tree. Its waiting Andre to submit the
relevant stuff on to Linus

I have just tried an HPT-366 card with IC35L040VER07 drives (latest DeskStar
41G ATA-100, although the card is only ATA-66) and could not get them to
even let me create a filesystem without hard locking the machine. This was
using 2.4.8-ac1 and 2.4.7-ac11. I wrote this off to motherboard/IDE card
compatibility (or lack thereof), but could it still be an IDE driver issue?

Alan,
What is the effect of putting or not a drive on bad_ata100_5 and
bad_ata66_4 ?
I am asking as I am using two 30GB IBM DTLA drives connected to HPT370
with kernel 2.2.19+Andre's ide patch, and I have noted that these drives
are present on bad_ata66_4 but not on bad_ata100_5 ?
Should I inderstand that IBM-DTLA-307030 would not be compatible with HPT
366, but *is* OK with HPT 370 running UDMA-100?
I have seen very good performance (15-30 MB/s of transfer with ide.patch,
without ide.patch performance is extremally poor at about 2-3 MB/s) and no
problems, except one serious problem, which made me feel rather bad;
I tried once to measure performance by running two dd command reading
from /dev/hde and /dev/hdg, respectively, concurrently; after dd command
finished reading HDD lamp stayed on until reboot, after which I lost
partition table on one of the disks; before the test I experimented with
hdparm which might have been not a good idea ...
I have not repeat this test later ..
HW: Abit MB with i440BX, FSB 133MHz, HPT 370 on-board,
ECC memory 133 MHz, Pentium-III 800MHz (133 MHz FSB)

OK, I've downloaded a beta BIOS update, if that doesn't cure it I'll try
adding it to the "bad list" and let y'all know what happens.

Some HPT cards have problems with certain drives. I believe its a fixed
problem in newer boards or on those with updatable firmware if you update
the firmware itself
Check your drive is in the bad_ata100_5 and bad_ata66_4 list. If not add
it then rebuild and retry (drivers/ide/hpt366.c) - and let me know
