Correct. It has 2 UDMA66 and 4 DMA66 channels and successfully runs
my Cleron 433 at 541 Mhz.

OK, this explains that nothing is probed/detected during startup ...

Which is exactly what I did. Thank you for clarifying that support
for this isn't in the kernel yet. I'll keep things on DMA33 for now
and check later if/when UDMA66 will be supported ...
