Is dma enabled (boot code dma)?

ooops.... I don't believe so, and that would explain the behavior.

I kind of assumed that this stuff would be automatic if the device supported it.

I design FibreChannel Protocol chips for a living and tend to take some things for granted... like who wouldn't want to turn on DMA if the hardware supports it.

Well, I will have to try it when I get home this afternoon. If it works I will be running a 3TB Samba File/Printing Server with DSL-N booting from a USB drive. Pretty cool.

Enabled DMA boot code with no change in performance.

Used "hdparm -d1 /dev/hda" and the read/write performance is right at 8MB/sec. It is a beautiful thing. Now I just need to compile the drivers for my Realtek Gbit LAN port and put 4 SATA drives in the box and my file server is good to go.

Thanks so much.
