Subject: Remove Asus EEE UDMA/33 limitation.
Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 11:44:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080502154458.GA10567@codemonkey.org.uk> (raw)

The Asus Eee PC prints this during bootup..

ata2.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable
Which is unfortunate, as it has..
ata2.00: ATA-4: SILICONMOTION SM223AC, , max UDMA/66

I believe there actually is no cable, and the flash is directly
connected to the controller.

[root@eee ~]# hdparm -t /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing buffered disk reads:   64 MB in  3.08 seconds =  20.76 MB/sec

With the patch below it returns..

/dev/sda:
 Timing buffered disk reads:   76 MB in  3.04 seconds =  25.04 MB/sec
