And how did you do that?
I have DMA enabled at the kernel level (USE DMA BY DEFAULT),
but I don't know how to enable UDMA! hdparm -X66 ??

When I got this problem the 1st time I asked for help at gentoo-user.
This message was also posted to gentoo-user. The reason I posted to
gentoo-dev has to do with the following reasons:

1.   Try to get some answer for a potential serious problem I couldn't
get from gentoo-user or Forum archives.

2.    To somehow alert developers to the problem. I had some other
distros in the past, including Linux From Scratch, and never had this
kind of problem. So there must be something wrong with the scripts
or the way (order?) the scripts are running.

3.   I would like to know how to debug the scripts. May
be I could help.

Sorry anyway.
