I've got the same problem, the harddisk in my dell notebook
(precision
M70) extremly slowed down since the kernel update to 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 -
it became absolutly impossible to work on this computer:
/dev/hda:
Timing cached reads: 2784 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1391.91 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 6 MB in 3.03 seconds = 1.98 MB/sec
Furthermore, I noticed that the harddrive formerly was /dev/sda1 and now
is /dev/hda1, which is probably the reason but I don't know how to fix
this. I hope there is an easy way, because I'm not that familiar with
linux to go into compiling the kernel.

Try putting ide0=noprobe in your grub.conf.
