I tried "grep JMI /boot/config-2.6.24-1-686" under root and it had
outputed:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_JMICRON=m
# CONFIG_PATA_JMICRON is not set
That might be your problem.
Try this:
# lshw > foo
And then search foo for JM.
lshw is a small package that you might have to install.
Also, here's what my lspci shows:
$ lspci | grep IDE
00:04.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 IDE (rev a1)
00:05.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a2)

Since Boc Cox has the same HDD , he can tell us a bit more about what driver is needed.

When you are running Windows XP, is DMA definitely enabled then?

Ok well if you are sure about this then at least we know it is not a
hardware (jumpers, cable, connectors) problem.
Not sure if any of that is of help, but perhaps you could show us the
output of dmesg | grep -i dma

This is important information: the vendorID (10de NVIDIA) and the
deviceID (0065 NVIDIA_NFORCE2_IDE). You will get the same information by
running "lspci -nn" on the command line; it will be listed as
"[10de:0065]". This IDE controller seems to be supported by the amd74xx
driver in kernel 2.6.25 (according to the Debian driver check page at
http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/).

The first thing to check is if your kernel loaded the correct modules;
please post the output of this command:
lsmod | grep -E 'amd74xx|ata|ide'
Also, install the "hdparm" package if you don't have it already and run
"hdparm /dev/hda" as root. What response do you get? You can also try to
turn on DMA yourself with "hdparm -d1 /dev/hda"; maybe you will receive
a helpful error message.

All I can suggest is:
In the file /boot/grub/menu.lst, edit the line:
# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
to read:
# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 dma=on ro
of course make sure that "/dev/hda1" is correct for your setup. If you
only have one HDD installed then it probably is already correct.
If instead, it outputs "using_dma = 0 (off)" then I'm sorry, but I
am unable to help further. You may want to run the hdparm command BEFORE
you edit your menu.lst to ensure that the dma is actually off and you
are not being deceived in some way. :-)
