Er, forgot to say that hdparm is installed and gives this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] darklord]# hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 78167/64/32, sectors = 160086528, start = 0
I do install as expert, don't even remember that option under v9.1 download
edition though - everything was pretty automagical. :-)
