Dan-
Thank you for the help. However, when I booted from the UDMA5 interface, LM8
called hda hde and hdb hdf. Since when I configured LM7.2 I called the
partition in which it lives hda3 and from which it boots hda, it just hangs
after the IRQ screen....
Know anything about hdparm? How much leeway do I get before the disk is
thrashed?
