No need to compile a newer kernel. First do a hdparm -i /dev/hdc to check
what your disk is capable of. -X66 is for UDMA2, -X68 for UDMA4 and -X69 for
UDMA5. Does your disk support this?
Then just add what is necessary to /etc/rc.d/init.d/hdparm-settings.
like hdparm -d1 -X{whatever is applicable for you] /dev/hdc
