To copy a CD onto hard took 20 minutes, so I checked the "IDE DMA Mode" in YAST. I could change the DMA of CD-ROM to ultra-33 (it is connected to one of IDE ports) but upon changing the DMA for hard disk, the system locked up.
I have a SiI 3112 and I could only run hdparm this way:
hdparm -d1 -X66 /dev/whatever
I found that setting the options individually locked the machine.
Thanks a lot james, now when I boot to Linux and use "hdparm -d1 -X66 /dev/whatever" this command, the speed of hard drives is amazing... Do you know how I can make this change permanet so I don't have to do it every time I boot to linux ? Thanks again Hamid -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
