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.
If you signal a 40-wire cable too fast, you get trouble with a capital T.

This would be fine if the software could correctly figure it out.
Problem is it can't always
get it right so the user should be allowed to "override" it at their own
risk. Linux is turning
into winblows - in that choice is be taken away from the user.
