Evidently, the developers have been focusing on 5.x, and the necessary changes are non-trivial and not straightforward to apply to 4.x. >From what I've read, you'll need to use 5.x in order to get support for your SATA drives. I ran into this problem under 4.9-RELEASE. As a test, I booted from the 5.1-RELEASE CD and the SATA drives were properly detected, and not downgraded to UDMA33. I've sort of been waiting for the official word that 5.x is ready for production usage before I run with it (the documentation still recommends that "conservative users" not upgrade). Hope this helps. Beric
