i have an hdd IBM djna 13.5 Gb UDMA 66 with a motherboard Abit BE-6. I have changed the slot of the hdd in ide2 and i have installed the Linux. I have recompiled the kernel 2.2.13 with options for udma (the options of the kernel). I now boot linux with floppy disk (I didn't install lilo). Is the hdparm necessary? What must I do now? I want to put the hdd in slot ide3 (for udma 66). How can i resolve my problem? Thanks Mario Loreti
