Identifying/activating faster ATAxx modes (WAS kernel config tale of woe)
Quoted 6 lines
you have a VIA kt8235 Southbrigde?
You need kernel >= 2.4.20-rc2, to get UDMA working with that chipset.
Of course, as Tomas pointed out, latest ac has much more ide improvements, so it probably would do even better with kt8235.
Thanks to everyone who pointed this out.
I'll give this a try later on this evening and report back.
