2.2.17 Lockup and ATA-66/100 forced bit set (WARNING)

["Michael B. Allen" <mballen@erols.com>]

I've enabled the higher performance features for my ATA drive by getting
2.2.17, applying Andre Hendrick's IDE patch, adding:

  append="idebus=66 ide0=ata66"

to lilo.conf. I was told that Alan's patches from here:

  ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan

should be used. Is this true if I used Andre's patch? Is the warning
message in my bootlog anything to worry about? The board is an ABIT KT7A
w/ KT133A chipset.

Also, the machine locked up once (hard, couldn't connect via network). I
am using the Matrox G450 beta driver with XF 4.0.2 though. Maybe that
was the cause?

Thanks,
Mike

I thought the BogoMIPS sort of went along with the CPU MHz?
