Description Garrett Ahern 2000-04-16 23:28:29 UTC

I used to have RHL 5.2, and everything worked fine.  Today, I installed RHL
6.2 and now whenever my disk is being accessed, the system becomes almost
useless.  The mouse cursor response is slow, and more importantly XMMS does
not play MP3s very well.  It puts in little pauses.  Any idea how to fix
this?

What does 'hdparm /dev/hda' say?

Great!  Thanks.  32 bit transfers were disabled, and doing "hdparm -c 3
/dev/hda" seems to have fixed it.

How do you get the HDPARM to stick between boots?
