Mybe this might clear up some more OS: RedHat 9 New install The dma time outs start accouring during boot and continues on through any use of the os. the hdparm -d 0 /dev/hdb is the command for the drive that i was told to use befor. I've been running the command manualy till i find the right place to put it. And if i needed to word the command differently for what ever config file I put it in. Or if there is device config file I can change to continualy refect the fix from that command. Hope that help clarify my needs. > >-----Original Message----- > >From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > >[mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ed Wilts > >Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 9:55 AM > >To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list > >Subject: Re: hdparm ? > > > > > >On Sun, May 16, 2004 at 09:46:33AM -0700, Daniel H.
