okay i FINALlY got 2.6.22-14-generic installed However it ran fast on
the CD but not on this upgrade :( the drives DID INDEED change from SCSI
ones to back to HDA and when running hdparm -t /dev/hda1 it shows

/dev/hda1:
 Timing buffered disk reads:   10 MB in  3.22 seconds =   3.10 MB/sec


/dev/hda
/dev/hda:
 Timing buffered disk reads:   10 MB in  3.27 seconds =   3.05 MB/sec

..............
when i tried setting DMA on HDA1 (hard drive mounted as that) it shows the 
following

 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Invalid argument
 using_dma     =  0 (off)

/dev/hda
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
 using_dma     =  0 (off)

..................
After doing a search on clusty I found out that when a kernel when trying to 
hdparm dma on it throws out the operation not permitted error, well it means 
that a PARTICULAR Chipset is NOT compiled into the kernel itself..Yes I got my 
CDs today and YES I kind of installed from that and also it did have to go out 
and download 18mb or such or I probably didn't add the apt-cdrom right and the 
last was from a last download i don't know tho..
