Hi!

I hope somebody on this list has another good idea, I haven't 
thought of yet:

I have a machine that came with two Excel Stor 40 GB ("Ganymede") 
UDMA/100 harddisks.
To install FreeBSD 4.10 I had to disable UDMA in the BIOS, 
otherwise they wouldn't have booted (some complaint about ata0).
Of course I wish to get UDMA working, since this is said to 
improve perfomance significantly. 
I checked if the UDMA cable is plugged into the correct places 
for mainboard, master and slave - this is o.k. .

Are there any other things (bios settings, kernel modules, magic 
chants,...) I could try?

Thanks,

Uli.
