To reply to the questions from various people: 1) DMA on hda is on hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.48 seconds =266.67 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.12 seconds = 30.19 MB/sec 2) I see no error messages in any of the logs (so no reports of timeout, w.h.y.) 3) I've 512MB RAM - no swapping. 4) Not sure about IRQ's - it boots too fast for me to read it! Doing a more /proc/interupts show the hda (the only disk) on IRQ 14, the CDROM on 15. Looking at the output of lspci -vv shows that the video card is on 16 but doesn't state what the IRQ is for the IDE controller (as a cross check). 5) Options - none. In the BIOS (flashed to the most recent version - 1009 but had identical problems with 1004) its set to MP1.4 6) I'll try disabling DMA for the CDROM 7) I have a PS/2 mouse plugged in - I'd seen that mentioned on the linux kern mail list. (I'd love to know how someone found that cure!)
