It is not a good idea to set parameters in your drive
while some processes may be using it, i.e. rc.local!
I just found that today when installing my Promise
Ultra66.
BTW, Chmouel, I noticed that the hdparm in the
mandrake_everytime sets the dma flag "-d1" without
setting the "-X" flag. I had some problems with
Western Digital drives crashing my computer while
testing, by setting flags one at a time; when I got to
the -d1 it just crashed the system. If I did it
together with the -X66 then it was fine.
Also, the highest mode I could set was -X66 with a
WDC307 and the Promise Ultra66 card. It says "Speed
unsupported or something like that. But the drive says
it supports "UDMA 4"?
