And did you enable DMA on you disks (hdparm)?
No, didn't. Thanks for this. But when I try hdparm -d /dev/hda I always get
using_dma = off (0)
instead of enabling/disabling it as the manpage says. Does this point to not being turned on in the bios?
It points to reading the manpage more carefully ;) hdparm -d doesn't toggle DMA, you have to set it explicitly, ie. hdparm -d1 /dev/hda !^!
