With 2.2.10 + a recent uniform ide patch, I don't have to do anything with hdparm to get udma-66 working with a Promise Ultra66 card. The kernel reports something like this at boot time: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.19 PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39

I recently installed RH 6.0, and built several raid0 and 1 raid1 devices, with this kernel. I then upgraded to RH's new kerenl : 2.2.5-15. I have no problems with this configuration. [snip] I thought I might need to do mkraid --upgrade, but the program reported that my arrays were OK

First off, the rating was maximum burst-rate, not sustained. The tech was wrong, it is Bytes, as in 66 Mega-bytes per second. However, UDMA drives can not sustain that rate. Calculate the spin rate, surface feet per minute per track, and bit density per track-inch, and you will find that rate

I didn't try 4 drives. 19MB/s doesn't sound too impressive for 4 drives at raid5. How are you measuring the performance? I've found that reading /dev/md0 is quite a bit slower than reading a file on a mounted filesystem on /dev/md0. Well, true, I got 19MB/s when I did a "hdparm -t
