No UDMA100

andnaess · 05-12-03, 05:09 PM

I have Mandrake 9.1 (which uses kernel 2.4.21), and I can't get UDMA100 to work. I have a Seagate Barracuda which is capable of this, but when I try to do hdparm -X69 I get the following in /var/log/messages:
May 13 00:00:42 ngt016 kernel: ide0: Speed warnings UDMA 3/4/5 is not functional.

I've looked around in the kernel sources, and from what I can see nforce2 is directly supported as it should be.

I simply can't go higher than udma2, which is very frustrating. DMA is working though.

Here's some info that might help, I'm totally out of ideas:

2.4.21 isn't released yet, so your "2.4.21" is probably one of the prelease versions. Some of the earlier 2.4.21 pre kernels were restricted to UDMA 33, the limit of non 80 pin IDE cables. IIRC, there was a bug in the setting of the 80pin setting/detection in the AMD/nForce IDE driver which locked the system to UDMA 33. I believe this was fixed maybe as of 2.4.21-pre5. The rc releases definitely have it fixed.
