Hi, This looks like your drive does not support DMA access.
Check if it is enable with the following (as root) hdparm /dev/hda it should report an output looking like this: /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 3 (32-bit w/sync) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8 (on) geometry = 9726/255/63, sectors = 156250000, start = 0 If DMA is on, try this hdparm -d 0 /dev/hda On Fri, 2003-06-13 at 13:00, Chris W.
