Description of problem:
hdparm -tT /dev/sda gives the following errors

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   2440 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1219.92 MB/sec

 Timing buffered disk reads:  170 MB in  3.01 seconds =  56.44 MB/sec

This only happens on Systems with SATA and Fedora 4. On Fedora 3 with SATA everything works fine

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  i get the error messages posted above

Comment 2 sangu 2006-03-30 11:54:33 UTC 
This problem still happens in hdparm-6.3-2.2 and FC5.
$ sudo /sbin/hdparm -i /dev/sda
Reopen with version FC5.

/dev/sda:
 HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

and hdparm 6.6 was released.
