Dunno, if the kernel lies. There are four HDs on Promise and one HD and one
CDROM on VIA. This is from currently running 2.4.2-2:

The RH 7.1 kernel disables VIA UDMA if the board has a DMI string indiciating
its a KT7 or

Interesting. They should be the same code for the VIA driver.

A little test report follows...
Just tested RedHat's 2.4.3-12 and 2.4.5-ac19 on A7V133 mobo. RedHat's kernel
seems to work without lockups, but 2.4.5-ac19 doesn't (locks up at boot,
compiled w/o athlon optimization and ACPI), so no changes on that.
2.4.3-12 also correctly detects cable

Interesting. They should be the same code for the VIA driver.
