Hello,
Why is the kernel limiting me to udma/33 when the device says it can do
ata2.01: CFA: TRANSCEND, 20070831, max UDMA/66
There is no cable the compact flash is a socket on the motherboard!
The kernel has no way to know that, and presumably the board isn't
connecting the signal for IDE pin 34 to ground in order to properly
signal that an 80-wire cable (or equivalent) is connected so that
speeds over UDMA33 can be used.
You should be able to use the libata.force=80c option on the kernel
command line to override the cable detection.

Hmm... libata.force=80c - didn't seem to work.
