Hi All, |

I have installed gentoo on my laptop recently and I am having a huge |
| 4 |
problem with speed. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The problem is the insanely slow disk access that I am getting. |

|

here is some output: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
manticore ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/hda |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
/dev/hda: |
| 13 |
Timing cached reads: 5702 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2857.11 MB/sec |
| 14 |
Timing buffered disk reads: 6 MB in 3.37 seconds = 1.78 MB/sec |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
manticore ~ # /etc/init.d/hdparm start |
| 17 |
* Running hdparm on /dev/hda ... |
| 18 |
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted |
| 19 |
[ ok ] |
| 20 |
* Running hdparm on /dev/hdd ... |
| 21 |
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted |
| 22 |
[ ok ] |
| 23 |

I read on a forum somewhere that this could be caused by the HAL daemon |
| 26 |
so I shut that down and no luck :-( |

Any ideas? |
