    DMA mode

    Would it be hard to autodetect if hd and cdrom can work in DMA mode and enable it ?

    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.

    p

    Which line? I know that hdparm can do it, but how to do on startup to recognise if drivers can use DMA mode, if yes enable it.
