asus L4000h laptop + 3.3 ide error (sisM650)

[michaeltone1975 <michaeltone1975_(_at_)_telstra_(_dot_)_com>]

recently purchased an ASUS L4000h laptop:

3.2 and 3.3 both crash on kernel load (generic from jewel cd) with the 
following error:

wd0(pciide0:0:0): timeout
 type: ata
 c_bcount: 512
 c_skip: 0
pciide0:0:0 bus_master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x21


according to:
http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=L4000-H%20Series&langs=01
the chipset is a: SiSM650+962
and drive is usual Ultra DMA/100 ..

cant attach dmesg as error occuring at kernel load time

many thanks
