Is DMA enabled for the disks?  If ide-generic is running the controler
instead of a native driver you don't get DMA which means all IO is slow
and uses a lot of cpu.

Check /proc/ide/ or if sata it should be enabled (unless you run sata in
old ide compatible mode).

Hi
for powernowd you have to load the module powernow_k8.
I have loaded the module cpufrq_powersave too.
And it works fine.

complete new install

[Uwe]

Hi there,

I'm new to this list and first of all want to thank everybody involved in the 
development of the AMD64 port. I upgraded my personal server from a double 
PII to a small Athlon64 system. First of all I'd like to suggest adding a new 
mainboard to the compatibility list. Attached you can find the necessary 
info. I tested everything but the sound an the SATA part with success.

After installation out of the box via netinst-image I have some questions:

1) data-transfer from disk to disk seems to be very slo and cpu conduming. 
copying huge files from USB-disk to IDE-disk ist very very slow with a load 
of nearly 90%. It seems to be independent from the filesystemtype - it's the 
same for FAT32 and NTFS sources.

2) I have trouble getting that cool'n'quiet thing running. As the 
powernow-daemon relies on the /sys-filesystem i suggest defaulting it in the 
kernel-images. I installed the sysfsutils package but can't get 
the /sys-filesystem working. Especially the cpu-freq part is not available. 
the sysfsutils-daemon fires up, but powernow doesn't.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Greetings
Uwe

PS: Whenever you try to use a harddrive previously used in a Sun with a 
sundisklabel ERASE it completely. The netinst shows a very strange behaviour 
until you entirely scrubb your harddisk. I used the IBM Drive Fitness Test 
and did a complete erase...
