I used hdparm -d1 to turn it on for the drives and that boosts to 41Mbs on the drives, but the pdc still shows the following:
PDC20265 Chipset. ------------------------------- General Status --------------------------------- Burst Mode : enabled Host Mode : Normal Bus Clocking : 33 PCI Internal IO pad select : 10 mA Status Polling Period : 0 Interrupt Check Status Polling Delay : 0 --------------- Primary Channel ---------------- Secondary Channel ------------- enabled enabled 66 Clocking disabled disabled Mode PCI Mode PCI FIFO Empty FIFO Empty --------------- drive0 --------- drive1 -------- drive0 ---------- drive1 ------ DMA enabled: no no no no DMA Mode: NOTSET NOTSET NOTSET NOTSET PIO Mode: NOTSET NOTSET NOTSET NOTSET ... I also have the kernel config you mentioned ... also even if the hdparm works, having auto-activation on boot is really the ideal.
