I have confimed that with mem=nopentium I can use UDMA66/100 reliably on the Abit NF7-v1.2 board with either my Maxtor or Western Digital drives.
Unfirtunately I can also confim that even with mem=nopentium the system locks hard when using UDMA66/100 on the Abit NF7-v2.0 board with either my Maxtor or Western Digital drives. This leads me to believe that it is an nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset, and or an Abit motherboard BIOS issue. That said it could also/just be a kernel incompatibility with the Ultra 400 chipset, I just don't know. Is anybody else running with an nForce2 Ultra 400, using UDMA66/100? Have you encountered these hangs? TIA -- John Allen, Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MandrakeClub Silver Member.
