k2.6 amd74xx AMD_IDE fails raid

MSI K7N2 Delta mboard, Nforce2, AMD xp3000+, PC3200cls2, 550watt ps

kern 2.6.0 beta3, logs refer to ide problems, /proc/ide/amd74xx doesn't look right--

#/proc/ide/amd74xx four identical drives, but different speeds here, hdparm can fix

# but changes are ignored by amd74xx, and this file is unwriteable--

hdparm -d0 ...bus[0-1].../cd # no dma cd's, per another amd74xx message

raid zero with four Maxtor 60G's, 8mb buff cache each, not booting on raid, no raid mounted yet, testing a raid-zero device of four drives/partitions by a copy operation

Compile kernels and cp -aR /usr/src /tmp OK, all on first drive, which amd74xx sets up OK. I guess it fails to set up second and fourth drives(see /proc/ide/amd74xx), which makes raid fail when copy exceeds buffer cache size(see another amd74xx message), due to 3000% diff in drive speeds(30x diff according to amd74xx's error), too different for raid to use.

cp -aR /usr/src /tmp

#/proc/ide/amd74xx four identical drives, different speeds, hdparm can't help! -------------------drive0----drive1----drive2----drive3-----
Transfer Rate: 99.9MB/s 3.3MB/s 99.9MB/s 3.3MB/s

Aren't drive0 and drive1(and drive2 and drive3) supposed to have the same settings and speed if hda hdc hde hdg are four identical Maxtor 60G ATA/133 8MBcache? Using hdparm does not change these settings in /proc/ide/amd74xx and the file is not writeable. If these speeds are so different, couldn't that explain why when a file copy to a raid partition exceeds the 4 x 8MB = 32MB cache the kernel locks up? The raid can't handle that 3000% speed diff?

hda and hdc are on the mboard ide controller and hde and hdg are on a Promise chip ata133 pci controller card.

I tried setting turning off dma for two cd drives because a message to this list "fixed" a problem that way, but it doesn't help me.

/proc/ide/amd74xx is okay - you have only two devices (disks) connected to on-board nVidia IDE controller, the rest is connected to the Promise card(s) (two disks and two ATAPI devices). Promise chipsets don't support (sanely) ATAPI devices so please switch them to your on-board controller.
