Yeah, I forgot to include that I have tried passing the noacpi option to 
the kernel, in fact that is how I run things all of the time due to some 
other issues, I also use hdparm to enable dma, and have the idebus set 
at 66mhz. I have tried fiddling with all the hd settings that I know of 
and nothing gets any better.
