hi.. i have some questions about configuring HD's .. i have two HD's one is 6 GB big, and it has windoze installed. the other one is 30 GB and it's for linux. but i have a third one, .. one i took from an old 486 pc, 514 MB, and i use it for backups, like, i plug it in, fill it with some stuff, and then i take it out and put it in a drawer.. the other day i found that linux had some problems accessing this old can, during boot sequence, it detects all IDE devices, HDA1 6440 MB, HDB 30000 MB, cdrom .. and.... hdd .. ... and it stays there.. waiting. then it says something like "irq timeout"... something to do with UDMA access, i think. but that is the problem, i guess. this HD is not UDMA. so how do i tell linux not to use UDMA for that disk? thanks!!
