It does not recognize the chipsets (or is it the cable?) support for UDMA/133, so it will default to UDMA/33 wich means it's limiting the system performance... Booting with "ide0=udma66" switches the support to UDMA/100 !! so you get some more speed out of it: /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.32 seconds =412.91 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.34 seconds = 47.76 MB/sec Another limit of this patch is the fact that it uses nforce1 support as base, wich means AFAIK it wont go over UDMA/100... I can issue the command 'hdparm -X70 /dev/hda' to tell it to go to UDMA/133, and hdparm reports OK but the system stays at UDMA/100. I'll try to fix theese, and make a better patch, if no-one beats me to it... --- Thomas ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.iki.fi/~tmb/ ** * Theory is when you now everything, but nothing works... * Reality is when everything works, but nobody nows why... * Here Theory and Reality is combined... * Nothing works, and Nobody nows why ... *
