could you try to test if your WDC is accepting / works with udma66 using -X68 or even easier to remember -X udma66 > So it looks like this problem is related to enabling UMDA100 (and possibly > only with Western Digital Caviar drives). > I would blame the WDC drive, since I have been running UDMA100 on my system with an Maxtor drive even before the MDK 9.1 was released.... if IRC there has been problems with some WDC drives, because some of the series actually relies on the ide driver to do the crc-checking (even in windows)... > 2.4.22-0.8mdk seems to be working fine with UDMA100 with my Maxtor disks. > Would you mind posting the output of hdparm -iv /dev/hda (or wich drive is your WDC)...
