Hi,

    I'm trying to skip the slowness of my harddrives with MD 8.0
because of the VIA chipset I'm using. I've upgraded the BIOS
and installed kernel-linus-2.4.3-2mdk. Then I've tried to improve
with hdparm, but when try "/sbin/hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" or something
similar, this is what I get:

"/dev/hda:
      setting using -dma to 1 (on)
      HDIO_SET_DMA failed: operation not permitted
      using-dma  = 0 (off)"

just the same I got with previous kernel.
I've compiled new kernel version 2.4.5-ac13 with the same result
and now I do not have more ideas.

What can I do?

Guillermo
