Comparatively minor problem with via ide.

Hi,

I've just upgraded to an Athlon+KT133 from a P3+pro133 setup.

For the old motherboard which had a 596b southbridge I got
perfect udma66 support form my hard drives. After I switched
over, and without changing anything except switching from
p3 to athlon optimisations, the driver reports my drives running
at udma33. This is despite detecting an 80w cable, using ide0=ata66
and turning word93 checking off. The new southbridge is a 686b.

Also, possibly semi-related; it insists on detecting my ls-120 drive
as udma22 even though mwdma11 is the best it can actually do.

I'm not experiencing any corruption, fingers crossed ( I understand
that that was traced to an acpi conflict? ) but this is nevertheless
incorrect behaviour.

hdparm reports that the drives are udma66 capable which is correct, but how
do I convince the driver to use it?

thanks,
