The last time I ran hdparm on Mandrake 8.0 I was using
a different ata100 hard drive and was getting timing
buffer disk reads of only 21 MB. I am now using a new
IBM hard drive and I'm getting:
/dev/hde:

Just to be clear, the VIA-IDE
I remember civileme saying that hard drives were
limited to ata33 in Mandrake 8.0 because of some
problem in the kernel with the Via chipset. Does
anyone know if this has been fixed in the 2.4.7
kernel? If so, has anyone compiled the 2.4.7 kernel
(mandrake version from cooker) and found that they
