Offhabd, it sounds as if DMA (direct memory access) is not happening, so your kernel is instead using processor-intensive methods of interacting the the hard drive. What kind of drive do you have? It is IDE? In that case the output of /proc/ide/hda/settings will be instructive. Replace "hda" in the filename with the correct device name if your drive is not /dev/hda. -- Henry House Please don't sent me HTML mail! My mail system will reject it.
