RE: 2.4.18 beats 2.5.50 in hard drive access????

Try to set UDMA0 by 

hdparm -X64 /dev/hda

or UDMA 2 by using:

hdparm -X66 /dev/hda

OSB4 should support UDMA 2. If anyting > UDMA2, then IDE warning should
appear in dmesg

CHeck the IDENTIFY information using hdparm -I /dev/hda to determine the
UDMA mode supported or /proc/ide/hda/identify, word# 88

When we read the settings DMA was disabled on hda and hdc. We therefore
assumed the BIOS did that for a reason and followed caution.

What happens if you do

	hdparm -d1 /dev/hda

?
