I would recommend: 1. Boot your system. 2. Verify that dma is off (and that you have a problem): hdparm -d /dev/hda 3. Verify that /etc/init.d/hdparm will turn it on: /etc/init.d/hdparm start hdparm -d /dev/hda 4. If it did not turn on dma, /etc/conf.d/hdparm is misconfigured. 5. If it did turn on dma, you need to add hdparm to be started at boot: rc-update add hdparm boot 6. This kind of sucks as fscks happen before hdparm is run. You can force hdparm to run before checkroot: echo "hdparm checkroot hostname modules checkfs localmount" > /etc/runlevels/boot/.critical -- Copyright (c) 2003 Arthur Britto, All Rights Reserved, Redistribution of this message requires written permission. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
