Under high pressure every UDMA4 drive fails on hpt366.
(Like copying huge files across UDMA4 & UDMA2 drives and various other
problems)
I think for now Linus & Andre thinks its better to have more stable machine
(the same thing is with VIA chipset I think)
However if think your machine is stable you could always turn UDMA4 on with
hdparm command (hdparm -X68 /dev/hd_your_ibm_drive)
Just put this somewhere in your init scripts.
