I believe you need to apply a patch in the 2.2.x series kernel for UDMA-66 support. Did you get your kernel source from the "official" site (kernel.org or some mirror) or from a Debian mirror with 'apt-get kernel-source-2.2.18' or whatever? I'd be surprised if the Debian sources didn't include this patch. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
