It seems likely that the HPT366 is operating with DMA (not just UDMA/66, but all kinds of DMA operations) disabled. Could you show us the boot messages concerning the HPT366 controller? > Q.2/ How to optimize my system performance (esp the UDMA-66 HDD) with > Debian Linux? Get the 2.2.16 kernel tarball, apply the Hedrick IDE patches (I suppose the -pre7 patches would have to do for now), and then rebuild the kernel. You might want to use the package kernel-package to help you with that. (Alternatively, if you manage to figure out what actually caused this, just fix it so that UDMA/66 would be enabled.) -- Chuan-kai Lin
