Hi
If yours is a stand alone machine you can stop NFS, Network, SMBD etc. Also you
might like to stop cron and at if you don't need them. Also stop printer etc.
What kernel you are using? If it's a 386 kernel, try compiling yourself for your
CPU. You can determine your CPU type by doing cat /proc/cpuinfo at command
prompt. In RedHat installation CD, kernel for 586 is given. Try installing that.
Giving -k switch for hdparm keeps setting over a soft reset. Not on hard reset.
Better put those settings at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Also do not fiddle
around DMA more than this. I have lost an installation due to that...
