OT: getting up to udma 66 speed
Hi,
My abit vt6x4 motherboard "support[s] up to 4 udma 33/66 devices". Without
kernel boot arguments, it defaults to 33MHz bus speed. I'm trying to figure
out how to get this working (or maybe I already have:)
Without any arguments, dmesg would give me a message something like:
(line has wrapped.)
"ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with
idebus=xx"
Adding idebus=66 to the boot config, dmesg tells me:
"ide: Assuming 66MHz system bus speed for PIO modes"
Great, but a few lines down in dmesg, I see:
"VP_IDE: Use ide0=ata66 if you want to force UDMA66/UDMA100."
But when I do add "ide0=ata66" to the boot config, I get from dmesg:
(second line has wrapped)
"ide: Assuming 66MHz system bus speed for PIO modes"
...
"VP_IDE: User given PCI clock speed impossible (66), using 33 MHz
instead."
"VP_IDE: Use ide0=ata66 if you want to force UDMA66/UDMA100."
Anything else I can try to get the most from my mother board ?
Thanks,
GC
