Do you have an old computer?

If so, try DSL version 0.5.3.1

Get 0.5.3.1 from the DSL download page at the web site.

0.5.3.1 has an older kernel and it might work better with your IDE controller.

If not, try some cheatcodes:

knoppix pci=bios nodma

or after bootup try:

hdparm -m0 /dev/hdb

at the commandline. You may need to be root in order to do this.

Good Luck.
