Booting with the "noinotify" option doesn't change the hdparm numbers.
I have another Ubuntu machine (with a worse HD) but it doesn't suffer this
problem. It gets 10 MB/s in buffered disk reads.
The affected machine it's a 700 Mhz Athlon with 384MB RAM. I have posted other
details previously. I installed Hoary first and upgraded to Breezy via apt-get
dist-upgrade
