Umm, just add
idex=autotune #where x is the number of the channel
# you want to be optimized
to the "append" blank using DrakBoot
Or hdparm -Xmn /dev/hda # where mn=64+mode number for udma or 32+mode number
for mdma
at the end of /etc/rc.local
You do NOT have udma5 available in the kernel, that came with 7.2, but up to
udma4 you should be OK. I assume you have a newer chipset otherwise hdparm
-X may also require some care, like writing to a safe area of the disk to
test the writing first. But the modern chipsets for 686 class processors
should have no problem with hdparm -X
