OK, both my 100MHz goes to udma5 also, NOW.  While upgrading my BIOS, I
had to revert to the safe defaults to get my box to boot again.  After
resetting some BIOS parms I forgot to check the UDMA settings for the
IDE controllers.  It finally dawned on me, and sure enough the settings
were not set to AUTO.  After I reset to AUTO, all is OK.

However, my SATA drive still does not come up in UDMA6 mode, though it
can be set later afer boot.  Oh well.

Don't try to do too many things at one time!  Why don't we ever learn this?
