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) ;)
