Network Performance Testing Summary

2001-06-05 Thread John William
This is a follow up message to the original "Abysmal Receive Performance" message. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me with suggestions. Well, after poking around, I eventually narrowed the problem down to the fact that the system BIOS did not enable PCI->RAM write posting. After I enabled

[PATCH] HP Vectra XU 5/90 interrupt problems

2001-03-13 Thread John William
I propose a patch of mpparse.c (patched against 2.4.2) to fix the Vectra XU interrupt problem. By the time we get to construct_default_ioirq_mptable(), we know we have an ISA/PCI machine without any IRQ entries in the MP table. At this point the kernel would just set up all the IRQ entries as
