If you have any of the following::
Updated: VIA82C586 chipset.
Updated: AEC6210 chipset support (own file, new-sort-of).
Updated: CMD646 chipset.
New: Intel PIIXn chipsets, PIO tuning support.
New: PROMISE PDC20246 with chipset auto-tuning.
New: Digital's PC-Alpha 164SX boards with the CY82C693 chipset.
If you want support for any of these new additions, I need reports that
show functionallity and stablity. Linus requires proof for anything
new in the kernel for 2.2. No reports, no additions.......
My Promise Report with multi-cards and one BIOS v1.26
/dev/hde: tuned 1/4 of chipset
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 3.30 seconds =38.79 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 14.61 seconds = 4.38 MB/sec
/dev/hdg: untuned 1/4 of chipset
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 3.28 seconds =39.02 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 35.97 seconds = 1.78 MB/sec
/dev/hdg: tuned 1/4 of chipset
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 3.31 seconds =38.67 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 14.60 seconds = 4.38 MB/sec
Note that these are UDMA identical drives that only tuned to DMA mode 2
multi-word above.........below are correctly tuned drives......
