Hmm, I am still on 2.6.4 with udma3... Not the best of the best, but it
works for me and is *stable*. So I guess I will refrain from upgrading to
2.6.5 or up before this thingie is fixed completely :).

Let's hope they are able to fix it. I would love to be able to use my
NForce2 at full speed, it is a very good chipset!
When do these hardware vendors get the general idea and release their
drivers Open Source?..... that would make live so much easier...
