I would expect to do better than that LX chipset. Pentium II 233 and I can get around 25 Mbytes/sec on drives from about three years go.
using_dma = 1 (on)
So we've established that your controller doesn't seem to want to do DMA. You seem to be using the piix driver, correct? I do, too...
Could you post a dmesg from 2.4.27-1-686, and also try some older kernels to see if this is a regression and not a bug that has always been there? (Hint: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=270199
Yeah.
Behold piix.c, 2.4.27:
/* UDMA 33 capable */ case PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB: <--- this is you case PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82443MX_1: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82451NX: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82801AB_1: return 1;
So it SHOULD be working.
Also attach the output from cat /proc/ide/piix.
Note, if it doesn't exist, piix refused to handle your device, which sounds like the older problem (except that it's fixed now!)
Well in view of this

I assume you don't want me to try the older kernels? Installing kernels on this box is a bitch.
I've got 2.6.8 here to see if it can find the drive.
btw I've not seen anything anywhere that tells me whether I have an 80-pin cable. I have, but I'd like to see that it's recognised.
