First hello to everyone!
I've tried many distros but SuSE claims to be the slowest. I am using SuSE 9.1 but i had the same problem in 9.0. I think that I found what the problem is but i don't know how to solve it. I saw that message (a bit accidentally), booting the system:
*******************************************
The DMA on your hard drive is turned off.
It may really slow down the FSCK process.
*******************************************
I found the DMA setting in YaST ant it is ON.
Still these warnings do appear.
How to turn the DMA ON. You are my last hope.
