Hey all,
I just wanted to follow up and tell how I got it to work. Its kind of
cheating but I downloaded the Gentus distribution and stole the kernel that
comes with it and put it in my mandrake 7.1. I'm now getting about 6 times the
performance out of my UDMA66 drive. The kernel doesn't have the USB module and
it looks like kheader doesn't work but otherwise everything else seems to work
fine.
