Promise 20267 "working" but no UDMA

[Andrew Chan]

Anybody manage to get UDMA 66/100 working with an on-board Promise 20267
chip?

Hardware: Tyan Tiger LE (with ServerWorks OSB4 _and_ Promise 20267 on-board)

Kernel: 2.4.3 with ide.2.4.3-p8.all.03242001.patch by Andre Hedrick (or
stock 2.4.3 with more or less same results)

FastTrack config: only 1 drive, configured as a SPAN volume consisting of 1
drive

I don't quite care about the Promise RAID features. I will use Linux
software RAID. The problem is that I cannot seem to be able to get the
controller into UDMA 4 (66 Mhz) mode!

I have enabled all the relevant DMA related kernel options. I have also
checked using the Seagate disk utility to make sure that the drive is
recognized (and configured) as UDMA 66 capable.

The following is from dmesg:

PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:03.0
PDC20267: chipset revision 2
PDC20267: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PDC20267: ROM enabled at 0xfeae0000
PDC20267: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary MASTER Mode Secondary MASTER
Mode.
PDC20267: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS)

I wonder what the last line meant by saying neither port is enabled?

# /sbin/hdparm -Tt /dev/hde

/dev/hde:

 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 12.82 seconds =  4.99 MB/sec [should
be much much faster here]
