I should have said "known bad configuration". I know Søren's ATA driver supports UDMA on the Aladdin, but I don't have the luxury of expendable file systems, so I don't use it. I also think it's the wrong direction to go off in; if we're going to totally rewrite our IDE driver, we

Depends on your motherboard. Try to just disable UDMA66 first. Thanks, that's what I did. It works fine (I'm using a SOYO 5EHM motherboard with an AMD K6-2/200). Performance is excellent; bonnie gives: ---Sequential Output ---Sequential Input-- --Random--

IBM-DJNA drives on FreeBSD
