Or you can get the patch, and rebuild the kernel.
www.linux-ata.org IIRC.
(maybe linux-ide.org, I'm not sure. email me if you can't find it, I'll

I'm doing this, and it works *fantastic*. Well, the machine pauses a bit
while it searches for non-existant drives hde&hdf at boot time, but I
can live with that given how much it helps the speed of everything else
:-)
