What does 'hdparm -d -u /dev/hdc' return?
# hdparm -d -u /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc: unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on)
Looks OK.
I think the * next to udma5 in the output of hdparm -i also indicates that it is using udma mode 5, no? (That's why I didn't run the command above, just looked at the output of -i)
What does 'dmesg | grep -C2 ide[0-4]' return?
Relevent part of dmesg is:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00beta-2.4

Partition check:
hdc: [PTBL] [2434/255/63] hdc1 hdc2 hdc3 hdc4All looks OK to my untrained eye.
Cheers, Carl.
