I'd also recommending after checking for the above, also check what
level of UDMA is set.  Try this:  hdparm -I /dev/hda | grep -i dma

Yours should say probably either udma3 or udma4.

Why not udma5 ? All my PATA drives (desktop and notebook) run at udma5
for some years now without any problems.

Thanks to everybody that's replied so far.

I may have missed something kernel wise but my sata drives are registering as hd* and it refuses to switch on dma.

I have no doubt this is a kernel config, just not sure where to look.
I don't have the laptop with me at the moment so I will post the kernel config this evening.

or perhaps somebody knows right off the bat what the problem is and what I need to enable and disable.

I am using the latest gentoo-sources 2.6.23-r8 if memory serves.


Thanks again
