I'm using centos 5.2 with HDD as sata2.
Sata2 doesn't set setting of dma.
Board name I've got is gigabyte s-series(ga-ep45-ds3r).
The reason to drive me crazy is to make hdd very slow while coping
file.
I've tried to put the command below.

hdparam -t /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: 10 MB in 3.81 seconds = 2.63 MB/sec

Speed of that is such sucks.

After googling, I found the link below.

As above link, I've read this...

So I've set the configuration at grup.conf like below.

#boot=/dev/hdc
default=0
timeout=5
hdc=noprobe << 추가
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen)

But still dosen't work.

Do you have any idea how to solve?
