hdparms & new system

["Stan Brown" <stanb@awod.com>]

I've gt a new modern mtherboard, and an IBM drive in a system I just built.

I thought I'd play around with hdparm, and tweak up the disk preformance.
I've got a custom compiled 2.4.17 kernel.

Much to my supris, virtually everything I tried came back as not available.

Are ther kernel patches, or something that I need to apply to get DMA, and
100Meg transfer speed working?
