i discover a something while examine my dmesg output.

-->Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
-->ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

now, maybe i can say it's a problem of detecting my driver for sure?

there have been a lot of problems around since i use a SATA hard drive,
and a common ATA cdrom, i spent a lot of time to find out the right CMOS
configuration:

P-ATA only | S-ATA only | P-ATA & S-ATA etc and some others. 
i use a Native Mode, so that my disk can be recognized as /dev/hdaXX
instead of /dev/sdaXX. and P-ATA only but with S-ATA enabled.

is there any advice on how to config such stuff correctly?
WindowsXP works with them just perfectly, and it's ok on my gentoo box
before the udev comes out maybe. i remember...

many thanks
daniel
