Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. DMA is always enabled for SATA drives. There is nothing special needed to enable it, although you do need to make sure that you have the right driver compiled in your kernel for the IO chipset. What does "hdparm -t /dev/sda" report? If this seems low, post the outputs of lspci and dmesg. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
