SubjectNo DMA in 2.6.0test4
I'm having serious trouble dealing with:
* 80Gb Seagate Barracuda disc (Model Number ST380011A, Firmware Revision 3.04)
* on an Intel 82801AA IDE controller
* 2.6.0test4

When booting, it disables DMA. With RH stock kernels it did not even boot.
It's currently running wiht latest 2.6.0test4

If someone can enlighten me on how to boot with DMA enabled maybe I'd 
achieve a better performance than this (best result in several tries):
# hdparm -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  0.79 seconds =162.46 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 14.33 seconds =  4.46 MB/sec

These are the relevant parametres to me.
