I have drives which work fine at UDMA66, but which some kernels randomly refuse to configure above UDMA33 without telling me why. Basically, any time you run a drive at a transfer speed lower than the minimum of the drive's and host's listed capabilities, you should say why you're doing so. -- dwmw2
