I am having a similar problem with 2 hds that used to work on SuSE80. They seem to hang during bootup. Added to boot.local is the following
/sbin/hdparm -X66 -d1 -c3 -m16 /dev/hda /sbin/hdparm -X66 -d1 -c3 -m16 /dev/hdb
Careful with adding hdparm to boot.local. On my Toshiba laptop, when I manually enable dma in boot.local, it will hang during bootup (the HDD-led keep flashing). Strangely, when I used the SuSE's way (/etc/sysconfig/hardware), there's no problem. Note that I even modify boot.idedma to use "hdparm -u1 ...". In boot local, even "/sbin/hdparm -d1 -X udma2 ..." will freeze my computer. Regards, Verdi
