Hi there
What am I actually allowed to do with hdparm on a BP6? I use the PIIX4 IDE
channels only, not the HPT366. I used to have hdparm run at boot time, but
removing that improved the stability hugely (with hdparm lockups in 6 hours,
without, uptimes up to 10 days)
Currently, only my hard disk is using DMA, the CD-ROM and CD-RW are both set
to PIO. (Kernel defaults)
Cheers
Charlie
PS System specs: (for anyone who's interested)
Dual Celery 400 not OC
128MB RAM
Kernel 2.3.39
NJ BIOS
Matrox G400 (16MB) graphics AGP
Other cards: ancient ISA SB16, ISA NE2000, PCI NE2000 in the slot below the
AGP slot.
running X does not affect stability, except when a utah-glx bug takes the
system down (rare). The machine is always running rc5. Usual uptimes are
between a week and 10 days.
