-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, I found a 2.4.20 rpm for cooker, installed it on my system, and GUESS WHAT??? Yup, that's right, DMA came on line.
Here again where my dismal speeds I was getting: [root@sneakers tbutler]# hdparm -Tt /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.50 seconds =256.00 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 22.07 seconds = 2.90 MB/sec Now here is what I am getting: [root@sneakers init.d]# hdparm -Tt /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.31 seconds =412.90 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.43 seconds = 44.76 MB/sec [root@sneakers init.d]# hdparm -Tt /dev/hda Also, top now seems to report less than a 10% cpu time usage hit during my 97 meg file copy test. :-) :-) :-) Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions, without them I would still be scratching my head... probably moving partitions around.
