Dunno, if the kernel lies. There are four HDs on Promise and one HD and one
CDROM on VIA. This is from currently running 2.4.2-2:

The RH 7.1 kernel disables VIA UDMA if the board has a DMI string indiciating

Just tested RedHat's 2.4.3-12 and 2.4.5-ac19 on A7V133 mobo. RedHat's kernel

2.4.3-12 also correctly detects cable connected
