I just tried the test9.5 kernel and during the fsck stage it keeps saying that DMA is turned off on the hard drive. I checked with hdparm and it is off and it gives a SIOC error when I try to enable it.
I tried ide0=dma on the kernel command line, but it didn't change anything. I noticed some messages during boot about reiserfs being in slow mode. I've enclosed an example boot from my warnings log file to help. If there is other info I can give, just ask. Thanks.
