:It does boot with DMA turned on, unless I am missing something? The
:WDMA2 drive is the old CD drive, the UDMA33 drive is the hard disk. :-)
Yes, that is so... but I'm not entirely sure that it actually uses
those settings when you have a configured slave without a master.
The dd command you ran isn't really a good test. Because you didn't
specify a block size, dd will use 512 bytes. Needless to say 512 byte
transfers from the hard drive are going to be cpu-bound and most of the
overhead is going to be in command setup and tear down. Try 32K
transfers:
dd if=/dev/adX of=/dev/null bs=32k
It should be < 1%.
