On recent kernel 2.6.15.6 (or any 2.6.15.x) and latest testing
2.6.16-rc6 libata detects and sets wrong UDMA modes for one of the
SATA-1 drives. This seems to be a bug.
My setup is as follows:
ASUS A8N-SLI-Premium Nforce4 mainboard
AMD Athlon X2 CPU running SMP
GCC 3.3.6
Slackware 10.2 Linux
The drives are used in RAID1 array (dmraid), they are WDC-WD2000JD
series purchased few months apart. Sata is compiled in the kernel as
module sata_nv and functions properly, no errors or any other anomalies
were noticed but the UDMA mode detection seem wrong on the second drive.
Drive one reports ata3: dev 0 configured for UDMA/100 while drive two
ata4: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133
Below is the full snippet of libata detection from dmesg:
