UDMA 5
Where is kernel development with respect to ATA 100 IDE drives? The only param idebus=xx takes is 66... are there plans to go to 100?

they have worked fine for a long time.

that's not what the switch means. instead, it gives the base clock for the controller, which should normally be 33. it does *not* tell the controller to run the *channel* at 100; in fact, idebus=66 should result in *halving* the performance of your disks...

Yikes! idebus is for specifying the PCI bus speed. That should be "33" for most systems unless it's overclocked. It has nothing to do with UDMA. ATA100 support has been in the kernel for some time. Just select Use DMA in the kernel config and select the proper motherboard chipset and you should be fine.
