Thanks in advance, Cecil Yes, it is, BUT ABIT B_6 boards require special LILO settings for their installation on ATA66 to work properly Anything but the newest WD disks will give you all sorts of errors if you set them to DMA/UDMA Some board chipsets do not work well with the PCI controller card. So, knowing those things, prepare for an education in BIOSes and HDDs and Disk controllers if you are in the 40% who need to do special things. Civileme
Re: [expert] Promise ATA-66
Well I just added a WD Ultra ATA-66 hard drive to my setup. I have an Intel 810 chipset, am I in trouble?? Not knowing much about hardware timing and all! vern PS. It's on a ASUS mobo that HP hacked for the Pavilion series of PC's, HP also hacked the BIOS so I can't turn off the on board video! :-( Civileme wrote: tal amir wrote: Yes it is :-) Original Message On 6/15/00, 2:35:45 PM, "Cecil Watson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote regarding [expert] Promise ATA-66: Is the Promise ATA-66 supported in 7.1?

Re: [expert] Promise ATA-66
I started installing MDK 7.1 last night and *YES* it does support the PCI Promise Ultra66 PCI controller card!! In case you can't tell, I'm very excited that I didn't have to feed the I/O numbers to the kernel in order to make it see the Ultra66 card. ...After getting to 98% completion, I decided to say yes to the XFree86 4.0, then my PC locked up.

Thanks in advance, Cecil Yes, it is, BUT ABIT B_6 boards require special LILO settings for their installation on ATA66 to work properly Not correct, I use LILO without any options, just make a ~10MB boot partition and mount it under /boot and install LILO on it (when using older LILO versions, make sure it is located beneath the 1024th cilinder). Also, using the special LILO reverse options, can render some troubles with some PCI cards / SCSI controllers, like eg. the SB Live! (not sure if that is fixed now). Anything but the newest WD disks will give you all sorts of errors if you set them to DMA/UDMA Also using DMA for ATA-pi devices for the Highpoint HPT366 (HotRod) or Promise 20262 is not advisable (for playing DVD etc.). So make sure your DMA using ATA-pi devices are located on the Intel controller. Also many Maxtor drives won't work properly on the non-intel ATA66 controllers, the best option is to reprogram the drives to ATA33 and put them on the Intel controller. Some board chipsets do not work well with the PCI controller card. So, knowing those things, prepare for an education in BIOSes and HDDs and Disk controllers if you are in the 40% who need to do special things.
