Guennadi,
I have watched this and even if UDMA is not supported cleanly by the
drive, the classic ATA-2 Multi-wrod DMA should be. There was a time in
the past where WDC had some problems, but they have fixed most if not all
with "modern" drives. I will be at WDC in two weeks, and I can raise
Well, yes, I thought they could not have known:-)) I'm absolutely stuck. If disk is
fine, chipset is fine and supported by the kernel, then BIOS doesn't (or shouldn't)
make a difference... Then WHAT ON THE EARTH??? Mike, have you been able to recall what
BIOS option turned DMA on? Shall I

I've just got a reply from WD - they say my disk only supports PIO4 and not DMA...

I'm taking the case off the machine right now, i can guarantee you its not UDMA
compatible, simply because this thing was made in early1997. :)
Here we go:
Glad all this discussion helped at least one of us:-))
As for me, as I already mentioned in my last posting - I don't know why BIOS makes the
difference (as in your case) if ide.txt says it shouldn't?! Ok, chipset, perhaps, is
fine. But what about the hard drive? You told you had WDC AC21600H.
