Hello,

Just to verify your setup:
You have a total of four hard drives connected to your PDC20269, hde, hdg,
hdi, and hdk, correct?
Are all four drives running in DMA mode?
Please post the output of lspci -vv and hdparm run on each of the four hard
drives.
Also, you may want to try downloading and using Albert Lee's pata_pdc2027x
driver (part of libata-dev-2.6 tree). See info at my thread from earlier:

Download the latest libata-dev patch set at

Hope this gets you started.
