Hi,

I just installed Mandrake 9.1 on a Dell Inspiron 9.1 and I've got
several issues:

I'm using the kernel linux-2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise

1°) The harddisk is really slow : hdparm shows a transfer rate of
3.5Mb/s

I tried to activate the dma using the command:
hdparm -c1d1 /dev/hdc 

and I got the following output:
/dev/hdc:
 setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 1
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 using_dma    =  0 (off)

2°) If I switch ACPI on in lilo.conf, the PC just freeze after having
loaded the kernel
I trued to recompile without APM and without APIC but then the PC reboot
after having loaded the kernel

Any ideas how I can solve those issues. Issue 1 is the most important up
to now.


Thanks
