What's the output of "hdparm /dev/hda" ?  Post it here... as an example, 
here's mine:

- -----
root@quinipt:/etc# hdparm /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 3648/255/63, sectors = 58605120, start = 0
- -----

Using hdparm command you can change the default options, too conservative (to 
me)  ;)
