Just did something. Changed the IDE-cable with a IDE/ATA100 caple. No
problems whatsoever. I'm running DMA.
So where does that leave me? It's either a faulty IDE-cable (but wouldn't
that have given me other problems than just slow PIO?), faulty controller
on the mainboard, some kind of bug in the kernel-source/driver or faulty
drive.
The first one is easy to check, just have to find another ordinary
IDE-cable. The last one would require a spare drive to do some testing on,
which I don't have. And since the drives have worked perfectly before on
the old mainboard *and* it works just fine with PIO and ATA100 I'd tend to
excludes this.
So any ways to chech whether the controller or driver is at fault?
