I have just installed a 20GB Matrox UDMA harddrive on my system and would like to move or reinstall mySuSE Linux on to it while leaving the old 5.0 GB hd to Windows NT for my work related computing needs. I understand that Linux kernel 2.2.x and under do not yet handle UDMA 66 which is what my new hd is. Can someone help me out here with suggestion of how to move my installation to this new drive?

UDMA66 works great with the 2.2.x kernel.

SuSE 6.2 (with the 2.2.10 kernel) has support for the drive, but I needed to append parameters to lilo.conf, per the UltraDMA mini-howto.
