You don't want to. It's already correct.
'less /usr/src/`uname -r`/Documentation/ide.txt' (give it a
read)
The idebus is the pci bus, not to be confused with ATA
speeds. Which also run on the 33.3 Mhz PCI bus.
run (as root) 'hdparm -v /dev/hd?' (where ? is the drive
letter you want to check)
It should look somethin like this
# hdparm -v /dev/hde
/dev/hde:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 160086528, start = 0
The first 4 are the more important ones.
