Subject:   ATA Cable problem
Message-ID:  <3AF6CD3F.6030607@cs.colostate.edu>

My system is complaining that I do not have a UDMA-66 compliant cable 
attaching my hard drive to the mother board. I am in fact using such a 
cable, and I have already purchased another cable and tried it just to 
check that the fault was not in the cable. The excat error message is 
from the kernel is :

ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable

What could be causing this, and how can I fix it? Is there a kernel 
option of something I need to have setup? A sysctl option? What does 
ata66 require in FreeBSD? uname and dmesg below.
