Use the hdparm program. To find the settings supported hdparm -i /dev/hda to find what is now in use hdparm /dev/hda this as root in a console. To enable on boot uncomment the line in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh. If you use CD use cheat code dma and use sudo with the hdparm to test. For more options man hdparm.Quote:

It IS already autodetected for HD and then enabled...Quote:
