Great! Thanks.
Just got 2.4.0-test9, it compiles and runs fine so far...
I also think about buying an add-on PCI ATA100 controller to get all the
goodies of UDMA. Either a Promise U100 or an HPT370 equipped one (but
found none such jet). I tend towards the Promise due to better web
support... any recommendations?
P.S.: I'd be more than happy to test you "superior tools" on my box. It's a
dual P133 "dream machine"... :-)
Mit freundlichen Gruessen / best regards

2.4 is more up to date than 2.2+patch.

I have superior tools to use, just not published yet.
hdparm below:
