I built a new machine for myself (finally .. it replaces a PII-333 box, it's been a while) ... that's relavent so I don't look like a 'complete' idiot here; I haven't played with new hardware in a while --
Anyway, it's an ASUS A7V266-E board with Promise UDMA controller on board with 2 Barracuda 20G 100UDMA drives .... I got 2.2r4 installed on it no problem with a CD image, upgraded to sid, built a new kernel (2.4.14) with promise support, but I'm missing the last mile here to get the drives and controller talking UDMA. I've found a couple links for install issues related to UDMA, but that isn't the problem, the install went fine I just want them to talk UDMA -- I know it's not working as hdparm reports 3.68Mbs as it's speed:( For those willing, the output of my dmesg is here: http://web.yerpso.net/~hmarq/newdmsg.txt TIA -- Hank Marquardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://web.yerpso.net
