Yesterday, as a victim of circumstances, I had to use a 3GB Seagate UDMA drive with my box, running 2.1.122. The BIOS automatically set UDMA on at boot and everything was fine with my non-UDMA disks. The UDMA drive didn't work at all until I disabled DMA on it, I got a lot of CRC errors when trying to access the disk. Contrary to what someone said on this list, DMA was not automatically disabled because of these errors. The motherboard has the VIA VP3 chipset and the 200MHz Intel Pentium CPU is not overclocked. I'm sorry not to have any kernel log dumps (klogd died mysteriously once again) or more information but this was a 10-minute situation and I no longer have access to the drive.
