when is overriding idebus safe?

The kernel always says:

ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

at boot time. How would I know if it's safe to say idebus=66? The documentation is fairly vague on this.

Thanks,
Dave

I get:

ide: Assuming 40 MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

??? you all say it's 33 hardcoded...

Because you do not have IDE_PCI enabled.

When the manual for your mainboard states that clock settings for setting up your CPU creates a change in the normal idebus=33MHz of any other value, then you are probablely safe. Since all 32-bit PCI busses run at 33MHz, as last thought and reported, it should not be needed to change. If I recall the idebus=XX primary use was for VLB/ISA/EISA systems, but I have been wrong before.

Chers,

My system bus is overclocked to 40MHz. Should I use idebus=44MHz now or should I stick with the default? How does the value given affect kernel behaviour?
