I've noticed during bootup, that it seems I see that all my devices (2 hdd's and 1 dvd/br burner) are set to use udma 100 or 133 instead of the nice and fast(er) sata speeds of 3 and 6 GB/s.
This is what I see in dmesg on my 32 bit *and* 64 bit Slackware 14.1...
Code:

Does this mean something isn't working right on my system or is it just something else and I'm reading it incorrectly and it *is* using the sata speeds?
