UltraDMA problems on ASUS A7V880 Motherboad.

My Gentoo (2.6.10-r6 gentoo-dev-sources) and Slackware (2.6.10 kernel) system cannot detect that my PATA hard disk is compatible with UltraDMA 6:

Code:
tux mikebela # hdparm -i /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

 Model=Maxtor 6E040L0, FwRev=NAR61590, SerialNo=E1B68DEE
 Config={ Fixed }
 RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=57
 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off
 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=80293248
 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2
 AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled
 Drive conforms to: (null):

 * signifies the current active mode


Whereas the Knoppix v3.7 (with both 2.4 and 2.6 Kernel) does recognize it and sets the optimal value (!!!):

Code:
tux mikebela # hdparm -i /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

 Model=Maxtor 6E040L0, FwRev=NAR61590, SerialNo=E1B68DEE
 Config={ Fixed }
 RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=57
 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off
 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=80293248
 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 udma6*
 AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled
 Drive conforms to: (null):

 * signifies the current active mode


The Gentoo and Slackware kernel is configured with Device Drivers -> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL -> VIA82cxxx chipset support. What's the problem?

These are errors - ide0 and ide1 are already used by generic IDE driver.
It was fixed in 2.6.2 but side-effect of the fix is that you must make sure
that ide_generic driver is not compiled in or loaded if it's modular.

Please make sure CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC is 'n' in your .config.
