How would you recomend that I get support? apt-get *new-kernel*, or apt-get source? Are there maybe modules that I should be looking for? > > Using hdparm to force DMA is a bad, bad, BAD idea.

I have a laptop that is set by default with DMA and 32bit mode set off, is it also BAD to enable these on the laptop because I am able to. How do I make this a default on boot?
