[NTLUG:Discuss] UDMA 66 installation?

[Kyle Edbauer]

You might want to check out the UDMA mini howto at
http://pobox.com/~brion/linux/Ultra-DMA.html for more specific
information.  Looks like the kernel that ships with RH 6.0 recognizes UDMA
and even UDMA PCI cards.  Looks like it is more of a BIOS setup problem.
Is your BIOS seeing the drive?
