If you are using the drives with a ATA33 controller, the drives will work fine in ATA33 mode. Some drives have ATA66 turned off to have greater compatibility with ATA33 controllers, and you may need to use a special utility to turn ATA66 on if you are using a ATA66 controller. If you are using an ATA66 controller, there are kernel options that will enabled the ATA66 features. You will need to compile and install the kernel. I have SuSE 6.3 and been using ATA66 drives with both ATA33 and ATA66 controllers. No problems. Christopher Reimer On Fri, 8 Sep 2000, Lawrence Sayre wrote:

Which kernel are you running? I've got 2.2.13 on SuSE 6.3. Lawrence Sayre "Christopher D. Reimer" wrote:
