Re: [PLUG] OT: UDMA Problem

The chipset is listed as VIA KT266A/8233A. I tried loading the VIA drivers. I haven't noticed any changes with the VIA loaded.

this is a longshot, especially when you consider that Microsoft NEVER puts
out buggy code.... hah..

Which I/O chip are you using for UDMA?

I have a new drive that was working well.  Now, I can't get it to boot
with UDMA enabled in the BIOS.  Specifically, I can't get WinXP to
boot.  SuSE still boots fine, even with UDMA enabled.  SuSE can also
read the NTFS partition.

WinXP reports "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" and "STOP 0xED" on a nice, blue
screen.  It does boot with UDMA turned off, or in Safe Mode.

The only thing I changed was that I used the "convert" utility to switch
from FAT32 to NTFS.  (I did that because I didn't like the cluster size
used by FAT32.)

Does anyone happen to have a solution?
