Now a question comes to mind: I know that Mandrake 6.0 has the Uniform
IDE driver (it says so in the log) but as distributed, does the kernel
have the VIA chipset support (VT82C586B) __activated__ ???
I am asking this because in the current thread, it doesn't seem that
his HD is recognized as an UDMA one ... whereas on my MB (also VIA
chipset)
it says hda: IBM HDEA .... , UDMA(33) which shows that the HD is
recognized for UDMA.
What I don't remember is, was it the case _before_ I recompiled my
kernel,
i.e. with the Mandrake kernel _as distributed_ ???
With VIA chipsets (at least) you also get messages in the log telling
about success (or not) of (U)DMA timings, so as these messages don't
show in his log, I wonder whether the VIA driver is activated ???
