I was running 2.3.99pre3 on my UP1000
for a short time and had a few
problems, so I dropped back to a patched 2.2.14.

What is hose 1 and 0? PCI slots?
Take a look at /proc/pci, and the IRQs listed there.
I posted recently about what appeared to be conflicts there.

I'm getting 21 MB/sec (hdparm -T -t) sustained on the
on-board AL UDMA33 with a 7500 RPM 13 Gig Maxtor,
and 17 MB/sec with a 5000 RPM 40 Gig Maxtor, but
again that's with the on-board 33.

You might try the latest Unified IDE patches on 2.2.14, but
again, I had problems with my UP1000, not related much to
the UP2000.
