Re: [LIH] hdparm with kernel2.4.1

[Mithun Bhattacharya]

A 40 wire cable and a 80 wire cable doesnt look any different from
outside other than the fact that the 80 wire one would have the
connectors as red and blue. A 40 wire one has all ends black. By the way
the kernel will default to UDMA33 unless you specify different. I
believe the parameters are idebus=66 and something else specific for the
hard disk I forgot what which you have to pass to lilo. Do remember you
can have a UDMA66 and a UDMA33 hard disk on the same cable - I dont know
what it will do if you force UDMA66 in such a situation - maybe wipe out
your hard disk :-).
