I understand that hdparm fails to set DMA on your Seagate HD, and that is a bad signal. What I would try is connecting both hardisks on IDE cable number one, and the DVD and CDrom on the second cable. I had to do that on my system to get it working faster.
So I moved the disks as sggested but still no luck setting DMA w/ hdparm output follows: luna:/home/dh1 # hdparm -d1 /dev/hda /dev/hda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) I'm beginning to feel a bit frustrated. It seems that changing cables may be my next step. Thanks for your help -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
