[expert] nForce2 and UltraDMA
Hi, Does anyone know how to enable UltraDMA ATA 100/133 on nForce2 boards under ML 9.1? I read in www.nforcershq.com that if you pass ide0=ata66 to the kernel it should be enabled. This works but after a few minutes my machine completely freezes and I have to push the reset button. So, is there another solution?

TIA, Thomas Backlund has made some fixes for 9.1, one of which seems to pertain to your issue: http://www.netikka.net/tmb/9.1/ He says only ATA 100 is enabled in this and I don't have this hardware for direct experience. If you search cooker archives, you could find if he has made only a kernel that would work instead of reinstall but I don't know. Rolf Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have the hardware myself, and have been ruuning it since before MDK 9.1 Release without problems... Regards Thomas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
