Guess it's a FAQ, but do I have dma on?
# hdparm -i /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Model=ST340810A, FwRev=3.39, SerialNo=5FB3DCX2
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs RotSpdTol>.5% }

IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 *udma4 udma5

If I got it correctly (german:
http://channel.debian.de/faq/ch-confighw.html#s-udmaactivate),
the * in "DMA modes" tells me that BIOS is already using udma4, but the
following tells me, it's off?
# hdparm -d /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
using_dma = 0 (off)
