Temporarily, you could try to enter at the lilo prompt:

linux idebus=66

see if it works good for you; the utility to check ide drives performance is 
hdparm (see man hdparm), but the basic info is given by 

hdparm -tT /dev/hda (ajdust to your device)

The enter in /etc/lilo.conf

append= "idebus=66" 

Hope it helps,
