DMA is always enabled for SATA drives. There is nothing special |
| 6 |
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 |
| 8 |
does "hdparm -t /dev/sda" report? If this seems low, post the outputs |

of lspci and dmesg. |
