Re: hdparms & new system
hi stan
if the motehrboard sees the disks during bootup...you should
be okay...
you can download the latest hdparm from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/utility-patches/
be sure to turn on dma mode
hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
- lots of options to play with...
to see how fast/slow you are...
hdparm -tT /dev/hda .... before and after turning on DMA mode
check to see if you have the ata-100 or ata-133 ide patches
