Thanks for the info. How do I enable DMA on a SATA drive?
Is your drive /dev/hda or /dev/sda? This could depend
upon settings in your BIOS.
Try running hdparm on /dev/hda or /dev/sda and post
the result.

Just a note for when the next Fedora release is out, IDE hard drives
will be referred to as /dev/sdx instead of /dev/hdx devices. If you
use devices instead of LABEL= to refer to your drives, get ready for
editing.
And if you use LABEL= to refer to your partitions, be aware that
moving them from one machine to anoher is likely to cause confusion
with duplicates that is difficult to fix.
Both methods have flaws due to circumstance. I like both methods and
usually go with labels and specify the names at boot. I like the idea of
randomizing names in default installations. I put labels as below.
cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/80g / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot80g /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/home80g /home ext3 defaults 1 2
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5vol/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
