hdparm is never called on startup by default, be it either the LiveCD or |
| 16 |
a new installation unless the users adds it to the startup. |
| 17 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI is Y on the LiveCD kernel, but |
| 18 |
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO isn't so it shouldn't fire up unless the user |
| 19 |
wants so via hdparm. |
