/sbin/hdparm --help 2>tmp_list;less tmp_list;rm tmp_list
here are the hdparm settings I user on my laptop..
/sbin/hdparm -c1 -a16 -A1 -m 16 -k1 -K1 /dev/hda
(Word of warning these settings will probably kill your partition ;-) )
My laptop has a UDMA/33 drive and a 32-bit controller (PIO Mode 4)
Here is the setting you want.
-c get/set IDE 32-bit IO setting
you can use:
0 - 16 bit mode
1 - 32 bit mode
2 - 16 bit mode (don't know why it's there)
3 - 32 bit mode w/ synchronous I/O
use -K1 -k1 /dev/hdxx to save the setting to the drive/kernel..
