<div>I doubt it. I always hate pointing out the obvious, but have you checked the hdparam -d (I think) to see if DMA is enabled on all your drives? I got bit by this not to long ago adding a new 500GB drive to a very working system and found that it didn't have that enabled and caused this exact problem.</div>

<div>Your IDE is being addressed as a SCSI device (hence the *s*da designator). The hdparm utility won't work on SCSI style devices. I know there is an sdparm but I'm not sure if it is needed here. Have you tried some hdparm performance tests (which I think work) to see what the stats are on the drives to see if they are reasonable?</div>
