Gee, this must be a new bug.
My brand new Duron Board won't work with ATA/100 on
Mandrake 7.1 (of course it won't work at ATA 100 with
RH, Caldera, FreeBSD, Windows (any flavor) or BeOS
either)
Where are these guys at? The Duron and ATA
motherboards came out, available for sale on June 15
and no distro, not even Mandrake, supports them. It
has been TWO WHOLE WEEKS!!!!
And I had to search 28 vendors to find an ATA/100
drive, too ;-P
Where do I sent the Bug reports?
Yes I really do have a Duron and I really do have
ATA/100 rated equipment. I'll let you know in a few
days whether it works at ATA 66 which is what I am
shooting for. I just could not resist poking a bit of
fun at the folks who thing UDMA66 not working out of
the box is Mandrake's fault. There are too many
variables to assume that.
I frankly don't see any advantage to ATA/100 except if
you buy stuff rated for 100 it might actually work
stably at 66.
