How can I set up
IDE bus speed
Well, you can't do anything about the *bus*, but you can do something about the disk. Read up on hdparm. If I were running SuSE, I'd have a line in /sbin/init.d/boot.local that read something like:
/sbin/hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda
This set's 32-bit IO and enables DMA transfers. You can type that line manually (as root) to enable it on-demand. I'd recommend that you do a test first. First, type:
hdparm -t /dev/hda &> ~/results.hdp
Then, change the settings:
hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda
Then, run the test again:
hdparm -t /dev/hda &> ~/results2.hdp
Works fine from command line. Otherwise, I get the errors below on bootup, and the controller resets its self. ATA drives are seen on bootup, yet DMA isn't turned on. I ASSUME that all is well using it from command line.
