*Please cc all replies to me, as I'm not subscribed to the list currently* I am using potato, with an ATA/33 HD (Quantum Fireball, 8.4 gig).
Whenever I restart my system, hdparm yields this: # hdparm -c -k -d /dev/hda /dev/hda: I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) Then, I issue the following command, which gives me this: # hdparm -c 1 -k 1 -d 1 /dev/hda /dev/hda: setting 32-bit I/O support flag to 1 setting using_dma to 1 (on) setting keep_settings to 1 (on) I/O support = 1 (32-bit) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 1 (on) I can tell it works since hdparm -t /dev/hda is faster, etc. However, whenever I reboot, the settings are lost, and it goes back to the original settings. I thought '-k' was supposed to tell hdparm to save settings? What is going on? FWIW, should I be running hdparm in single user mode? I usually just run it from an xterm, but there have been no ill-effects thus far. Thanks in advance. -------------------------- Neil Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 04-Dec-1999 TIme: 20:32:12 For my GnuPG key, please see: http://24.112.188.210/mykey.asc --------------------------
