I just successfully compiled a kernel for the first time (2.4.2). It seems to be working (network, sound, etc... all working). But anyway, here's my question:

On boot, I get this message:
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

Now... I know my system has a 133Mhz Front-Side bus... Is this the same thing as the idebus? Should I, in fact, override this default with idebus=133 as a kernel param?

Thanks for the help.

no PIO stands for Programmable I/O and it refers to hard drive speeds. If you are running UDMA66 (or 100) then you should override it, but otherwise I wouldn't touch it.

Thanks for the uber-prompt response, dude!
