So that the rest of us know what to look for, could you give a little more 
detail?  Does native ata mode provide any benefits that would be 
noticeable over legacy mode?  Also, when it breaks, does that just mean 
the devices don't probe, or does it mean that data corruption might occur?

I ask because I have a CD-ROM that has never worked in DMA mode, and I was 
wondering if native mode might fix that.  (After jhb fixed my pccard+ACPI 
problem by adding better EISA support, I'm optimistic about everything.)
