 2.4.26-1-686 drives the ATA drive very slowly as it doesn't allow me to 
 turn DMA on. See #270199

None of these are kernels that we're using in the current version of the
installer. I suggest you try the newer kernel versions.

A great number of folk CC me without regard for what they know about me. 
It stands.

Settle down Joey. AFAIK my MUA doesn't offer the facility. It does allow 
me to make a choice that reduces the amount of unwanted mail I get, so I 
did it. You're the first to make a fuss over it.

fwiw 2.4.27-1-686 also sucks:
ns:~# hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma=  0 (off)
ns:~# hdparm -t /dev/hda{,}
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads:   12 MB in  3.46 seconds =   3.47 MB/sec
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads:   12 MB in  3.45 seconds =   3.48 MB/sec
