Some advice:
- play with hdparm to tune your hard disk settings (maybe consider using
the -d1, -c1, -u1 options (be careful, read the docs!!) ) (maybe the
older kernels used to automatically set up these options, but, for
some reason the last ones don't).
- check that you have enabled the kernel support for your
harddrive/chipset into the kernel (Triton, cmd640).
- if the problem persists (unlikely), please consider mailing to
linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu, too.
Sorry for the delay, I saw your posting in debian-user, but forgot
to answer.
Ciao,
Michele
