I included an additional SXX in the rc2.d dir as follows:-

#! /bin/sh
# Enabling dma for hda

hdparm -d1 -c1 -a1 -A1 -m8 -k1 /dev/hda

Remember to chmod the file created to 755 less it does not execute at
boot. Also, I'd manually try this first before actually including the
above, particularly the -d1 as on some systems, it screws up the
hardisk. Also, try a combination of the settings to get the optimum
performance from the hardisk (this can be tested using the hdparm -t
/dev/hda). Good luck!

Hi,

Where's the best place to put a call to hdparm so that it gets
invoked
upon booting? (would inserting it into an existing file in
/etc/init.d
be appropriate?)

Thanks,
Jamie
