so spake "Dave Anderson" (dave):> If I'm reading it correctly, this bit of the dmesg says that my hard > drive is not using DMA -- and so is running very inefficiently: The IDE controller on that machine does not have working PCI-based IDE so you are stuck with PIO ISA IDE. If memory serves the controller claims to support it but it is horribly buggy. If you really want DMA, drop in a cheapo PCI IDE controller and hook the drives up to that. - todd
