No, the installation kernels do not enable DMA by default because of an unknown number of not-yet blacklisted data-corrupting drives. > 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? What you prefer. If you know how to read english text and edit lilo.conf, you could try with the backports from Adrian Bunk (see apt-get.org). > Do you mean that I shouldn't use hdparm at all?

That's a kernel option or via hdparm in an init script or via "echo using_dma:1 > /proc/ide/.../settings".
