Hi,
I have been trying to get my two new ide drives to work at ata66
without much luck. I am currently trying with Vojtech Pavlik's
via82cxxx.c v1.7 with kernel 2.4.0-t7-p3. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the setup:
Abit KA7 motherboard with latest stable bios version TY
The bios bootup screen lists the drives as ATA66
I am using two 80 ribbon cables
lilo append="idebus=33 ide0=ata66 ide1=ata66"

When I try to turn on ATA66 with hdparm:

As you can see all signs are the the drive should be working
at ata66 but the transfer speed is not show any improvement
from ata33.
I have tried with many combinations of kernels and patches
all with similar results. The only thing I can think of to
note is the with 2.2.17pre4 + andre's ide patches the dmesg
output shows these drives as UDMA(66) but hdparm out is the
same as above.
I am a little frustrated, can someone help me out?
TIA,
Shane
P.S. pointers to documentation are welcome
