Thanks, I'll do that tonight and report here whether this helps or not. > > And why then is UDMA66 not automatically choosen > > at bootup? > > At a guess I would suggest that dma is broken for > your motherboards in 5.3 (what were they again?). Sorry, I don't understand your last question in the brackets. What does 'they' refer to? The motherboard(s), the type of dma, or what? Is it possible that the dma appears to be broken for 5.3 only, but works fine with 4.11 ? (I had no such problems with 4.11; then I did a fresh install of 5.3 and I got all these disk problems) > Oh and - you could try Soren's ATA mkIII patches, > even tho I suspect they may be intended for > 5.3-stable rather than 5.3-release (you got nothing > to lose at this point tho....) Maybe, maybe. But I first want to find out what's the actual problem. Later I may upgrade to stable. By then, this patch may have been applied to stable.
