hdparms new system
I've gt a new modern mtherboard, and an IBM drive in a system I just built. I thought I'd play around with hdparm, and tweak up the disk preformance. I've got a custom compiled 2.4.17 kernel. Much to my supris, virtually everything I tried came back as not available. Are ther kernel patches, or something that I need to apply to get DMA, and 100Meg transfer speed working? -- Stan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED]843-745-3154 Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 2000 Stan Brown.

Quoting Stan Brown ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Much to my supris, virtually everything I tried came back as not available.

Supposedly your new motherboard has a specific chipset that was not compiled with the stock kernel you are running right now. You might have to recompile the kernel with support for your IDE-chipset in order to get all the kinky stuff like UDMA and 32bit transfers.

Re: hdparms new system
hi stan if the motehrboard sees the disks during bootup...you should be okay... you can download the latest hdparm from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/utility-patches/ be sure to turn on dma mode hdparm -d1 /dev/hda - lots of options to play with... to see how fast/slow you are... hdparm -tT /dev/hda before and after turning on DMA mode check to see if you have the ata-100 or ata-133 ide patches http://www.LinuxDiskCert.org c ya alvin On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, Stan Brown wrote: I've gt a new modern mtherboard, and an IBM drive in a system I just built.
