Is hdparm installed? What's the result of 'hdparm -tT /dev/hda'? If less than 25 MB/sec, then edit /etc/sysconfig/harddisks and uncomment all the different modes and reboot. Run the hdparm test again. I actually have one box where enabling all the stuff made it run _slower_, but that's a rarity. Normally, it picks the raw read rate up from about 8 MB/sec to 25-35 MB/sec.
