Sorry it took me a long while to reply and i must admit i seem to have lost
your reply to this mail and the other mails of this thread, so i am now
talking blind as i cant seem to find the archives anymore anywhere.

I seem to remember you mentioning that you had compiled a new kernel.???
If that is true then maybe you did not define your IDE chipset, if that is the
case then that is your problem as the kernel will fall back onto, "slow but
works on anything" sort of arrangement.
The command 'lspci' should say what the chipset is, then
checkout /usr/src/linux/config and make sure you have defined support for
that chipset.
