I noticed that to on my system. After some investigation I didn't
bother changing things. I can't quite remember, but isn't the
message an indication of the speed between the pci-controller and the
ide-controller? As far as I know this doesn't involve the speed
between ide-controller and your disk.
If other people suggest changing idebus, I will look in to it again,
but currently my disks use UDMA 100 (from the top of my head). Which
was all I wanted really.
