One other problem with kernel 2.6 on this machine; it won't enable DMA
mode for my hard disk. hdparm says it is set to 0 and refuses to set it
to 1 (operation not supported, or something similar), and hdparm -Tt
testing confirms it's not running in DMA mode (transfer rate of 7MB/sec,
as compared to over 40MB/sec it should score in DMA mode). I've seen
references from people with 2.5 and 2.6 on nforce2 who seem to have DMA
working...is there some parameter I'm missing or is this a problem with
our packaging of 2.6?
