DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device

[Ugo Bellavance]

Hi,

--System
FreeBSD 4.8 release
It is a kernel that I recompiled only to enable SMP. 
The same error comes with the generic stock generic
Kernel.
It is a dual Athlon MP 1800+ on a tyan MB.  The Raid
card is a TX-2000 with 2 Hot swap superswap enclosure.
 The only other IDE device, the cd-rom is on the IDE
controller on the motherboard.  The raid is a RAID1
with 2 Western Digital 80 Gb, 8 Mb cache, 7200rpm,
each of them is ont a separate channel.  I checked the
cable and they are connected on the right side.  I
even tried to put them the other way around and I get
the same error message.

--Problem: FreeBSD only puts my drive in udma33 while
the Motherboard, cables, enclosures and drives support
udma100.  I don't know if it is a bogus error, because
I don't know how to test it (like hdparm in linux).

--Other data:

Nothing interesting in /var/log/messages

Other logs can be provided upon request.  I just don't
want to make the post too long.

Thanks for your help.
