Re: [TCLUG:19376] Tyan K7 boards?

More than likely it has a VIA 686A chipset or the AMD 756 chipset - eithe
r of which are supported by the UDMA patch that you can get from
kernel.org.  The BIOS is another matter - if it doesn't report things
nicely - you may have to use hdparm to force the use of DMA.
