What am I doing wrong?
Have you tried something like atacontrol mode 1 UDMA6 UDMA6 to change the mode to the highest values possible? I have katrin# atacontrol info 1 Master: acd0 <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B/A102> ATA/ATAPI revision 5 Slave: acd1 <HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4120B/2.01> ATA/ATAPI revision 0 katrin# atacontrol info 0 Master: ad0 <SAMSUNG SP1614N/TM100-30> ATA/ATAPI revision 7 Slave: ad1 <SAMSUNG SP0802N/TK100-24> ATA/ATAPI revision 7 with katrin# atacontrol mode 1 Master = UDMA33 Slave = PIO4 after boot and end up with katrin# atacontrol mode 1 UDMA6 UDMA6 Master = UDMA33 Slave = WDMA2 Usually I only use acd0, so I didn't care (real life runs at a higher priority <g> right now).
