    What's the output of "hdparm /dev/hda" ? Post it here... as an example,
    here's mine:

    - -----
    root@quinipt:/etc# hdparm /dev/hda

    /dev/hda:
     multcount = 16 (on)
     IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
     unmaskirq = 1 (on)
     using_dma = 1 (on)
     keepsettings = 0 (off)
     readonly = 0 (off)
     readahead = 8 (on)
     geometry = 3648/255/63, sectors = 58605120, start = 0
    - -----

    Using hdparm command you can change the default options, too conservative (to
    me) ;)
