40-wire/80-wire detection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Linux kernel: version 2.6.22.1
Chipset: VIA VT8363 + VT82C686A
Hard drives: Quantum Fireball LCT10 (UDMA66)

I'm having a problem with the 80-wire/40-wire cable detection in the
ata driver.  Even when I configure the kernel with IDEDMA_IVB set, I
still get the 40-wire speed downgrade on hda.

Why did you guys put that 80-wire/40-wire cable detection in the ata
driver anyway?  Since when is it your job to police me in making sure
I'm using the correct cable on my drives.  

This is a pefect example of why I feel Linux isn't worth the trouble. 
If it weren't free of cost, I wouldn't go near it.  But then again, I
guess you get what you pay for so I shouldn't complain.

Regards,
