Any ideas would be appreciated, I've had to switch back to 9.0 as the whole 9.1 experience is unuseable has anybody got any ideas?

try hdparm -t /dev/hda, hdparm /dev/hda and hdparm -i /dev/hda and examine their output. It might be possible that DMA is not used. Try issuing the command between the quotes, and if everything continues to work ok (also retest with hdparm -t), run the whole "echo" line. Read man hdparm to understand what each option does. echo "hdparm -c1u1W1d1 /dev/hda" >> /etc/init.d/boot.local
