Hello, I use /etc/sysconfig/harddisks to tweak my laptop's HD parameters. In previous RHL and Fedora distros, it's always worked, but I've recently discovered that in FC4, the parameters in /etc/sysconfig/harddisks are simply being ignored. Here's what I have in the file (minus comments): USE_DMA=1 MULTIPLE_IO=16 EIDE_32BIT=1 LOOKAHEAD=1 EXTRA_PARAMS='-u1' I can use hdparm to change the same parameters (which works), but they don't survive reboots. That's why I need the harddisks file.
You can put the hdparm line that works for you in /etc/rc.d/rc.local HTH, -- mads
