2. And this is the output of the "hdparm -Tt " option

/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.26 seconds =492.31 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 13.83 seconds = 4.63 MB/sec

as you can see buffered disk read is woeful, leading to very slow I/O. have tried to activate DMA with "hdparm -d1" option
and this error message follows:

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

Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
kernel type is up the top of the page.

40Gb drive in a Tecra, it should test out around at least 15, yeah that sucks... what's the current dma setting?

hdparm -i /dev/hda

Cheers,
