Hi,

I'm trying to get my SATA harddrive running in UDMA 6 mode but I
cannot get it to anything faster than UDMA 2. So the question is: Is
it possible to get the my system running in UMDA 6, if yes, how?
Firstly, some basic system configuration information (details below):

Motherboard: ASUS, A7N8X DeLuxe, Sil-3112A
Harddrive: Seagate Barracuda 80GB, SATA150 (connected with SATA)

Linux 2.4.21-rc2-ac1

AMD_IDE: PCI device 10de:0065 (nVidia Corporation) (rev a2) UDMA100 controller on pci00:09.0
SiI3112 Serial ATA: IDE controller at PCI slot 01:0b.0
SiI3112 Serial ATA: chipset revision 2
SiI3112 Serial ATA: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide2: MMIO-DMA at 0xf880d000-0xf880d007, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
ide3: MMIO-DMA at 0xf880d008-0xf880d00f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio

At first I couldn't get it running in UDMA at all, but then I found
this [1] tip, which got me going at UDMA 2:

 AdvancedPM=no WriteCache=enabled
 Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 2:  1 2 3 4 5 6

If I try to set anything higher than 66 I'll get: "Speed warnings UDMA
3/4/5 is not functional":



---
hdparm -X67 /dev/hde
 
/dev/hde:

 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Input/output error


dmesg

However, my hardware should support udma6:
