Dear debian-isp,
I have just compiled the kernel 2.6.6 in my box, and during boot time it says
the
following for each disk partition:
**
* Warning: The dma on your hard drive is turned off. *
* This may really slow down the fsck process
Guess it's a FAQ, but do I have dma on?
# hdparm -i /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Model=ST340810A, FwRev=3.39, SerialNo=5FB3DCX2
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw15uSec Fixed DTR10Mbs RotSpdTol.5% }
RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4
BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16

DMA is not enabled. Have you installed hdparm ? Do an `apt-get install
hdparm' and enable DMA by doing `hdparm -d1 /dev/hda'. You can also
pass on `-c1 -u1' to hdparm. Please test out the hard disk read timings
by doing a`hdparn -t /dev

Of course, I couldn't have done hdparm -i /dev/hda without ;)
Do an `apt-get install
hdparm' and enable DMA by doing `hdparm -d1
.
Well, there's a kernel option to automatically enable DMA if it's
detected, at least in 2.4.18. I don't recall exactly where, and alas, I
can't access my box from here :-/. But I compiled the kernel to support
my motherboard's chipset, enabled the option in the kernel to
automatically enable DMA
