Same problems here on gutsy. Got 7200 hitachi pata drive, wich reports
that it should support udma5. It's set on udma2 and hdparm can't change
this parameter (or any other). The read/write times are making me really
annoyed.

hdparm -i /dev/sda:

hdparm -tT:

uname -r:

hdparm -d1 /dev/sda:

setting using_dma to 1 (on)
