Hi

This is a repeat of a message I have posted on efwsupport.com forum
http://efwsupport.com/index.php?topic=1830.msg4834#msg4834

Can anybody suggest where I can locate the missing kernel module(s)?



part1
====
Very slow disk IO on SATA RAID1 Jetway NC92-330-LF

I have installed endian on a Jetway NC92-330-LF MB with two SATA HDD in 
software RAID1
Apart from the install being very slow, after installation I am seeing 
extremely slow IO on the hard disks.

  hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
  Timing cached reads:   2392 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1195.39 MB/sec
  Timing buffered disk reads:   10 MB in  3.08 seconds =   3.25 MB/sec

I was also surprised to see the disks using device hdX and not sdX!

Am I missing something here or does endian CE not fully support SATA?


part2
===
Just a follow up on my problems with 2.4 IO speed

I installed 2.3 on the same machine with no speed poblems at all
hdparm was showing 100MB/s Buffered read speed.

I also note that 2.3 was using kernel module libata and ata_piix as well 
as some scsi modules.

libata is NOT present on my copy of endian CF 2.4
Can anybody suggest where I can get additional kernel modules?

Further follow-up
============

I have upgraded using efw-upgrade and the system has reverted to being 
very slow!!

The disk devices are now showing as hda and hdb instead of sda and sdb 
(I guess having raid 1 md devices allows it to boot)
kernel mosule ata_piix is loaded but no sign of libata.

This looks to me similar to the problem found at:
