I can't see that it made any difference:

pata_via 0000:00:0f.1: version 0.3.4
pata_via 0000:00:0f.1: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: INT A -> IRQ 20
scsi0 : pata_via
scsi1 : pata_via
ata1: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xe900 irq 14
ata2: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xe908 irq 15
ata1.01: CFA: Ridata CF, 20080820, max UDMA/133
ata1.01: 15662304 sectors, multi 0: LBA
ata1.01: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable
ata1.01: configured for PIO4
scsi 0:0:1:0: Direct-Access ATA Ridata CF 2008 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
sd 0:0:1:0: [sda] 15662304 512-byte logical blocks: (8.01 GB/7.46 GiB)
sd 0:0:1:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 0:0:1:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
sd 0:0:1:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
sda:
sd 0:0:1:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
sda1
sd 0:0:1:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk

[root@lanforge-D0-20 lanforge]# hdparm /dev/sda1

/dev/sda1:
IO_support = 0 (default)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 974/255/63, sectors = 14336000, start = 63


(read speed is still just under 3MB/s)


I used this patch:
