Hmm, I am still on 2.6.4 with udma3... Not the best of the best, but it works for me and is *stable*. So I guess I will refrain from upgrading to 2.6.5 or up before this thingie is fixed completely :). > > On the other hand, it looks like kernel people are making some > progress: > > http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203 > > Some other workaround (and patches) are suggested. Let's hope they are able to fix it. I would love to be able to use my NForce2 at full speed, it is a very good chipset! When do these hardware vendors get the general idea and release their drivers Open Source?..... that would make live so much easier...
