>> but do I have dma on?
DMA is not enabled. Have you installed hdparm ? Do an `apt-get install
hdparm' and enable DMA by doing `hdparm -d1 /dev/hda'. You can also
pass on `-c1 -u1' to hdparm. Please test out the hard disk read timings
by doing a`hdparn -t /dev/hda' before and after passing the said
arguments.
>> BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can also set the multi-sector count to 16 by passing `-m16' to
hdparm.
>> BIOS is already using udma4, but the following tells me, it's off?
Anyway `man hdparm' and `hdparm --help'.
HTH.
