I don't believe the propriertary ATA/100 controllers built into your motherboard are yet supported by Linux - if your motherboard HAS ATA/100 controllers at all. You can run a drive set at ATA/100 on an ATA/66 (or ATA/33) controller; you just won't get the higher throughput. The problem addressed here is that Mandrake wouldn't complete installation because it doesn't recognize UDMA 5. For the sake of the installation the drive should be set at UDMA 4 or less.
