WELL... I think I seriously have to apologize for having been a little... let's say, fast yesterday.
I posted after a 3rd hardware-change and -xth reinstallation since I installed 8.10 for the first time three weeks ago. In fact I had to give up with my harddisk-megalomany wich led me to install the system on a (used) 120 Gb primary partitioned hd and mount /home on a (new) 320 Gb primary partitioned hd. I realized that the used hd might have had an accident in its former life, since it made a fancy scratching sound while booting, so I removed it an reinstalled on the new hd. After that, and after recieving the mentioned <hdparm> output I SHOULD at least have done the <hdparm -Tt /dev/...> command, but you know, sometimes you don't think of the easiest ways... Nevertheless, in the attachment you will find following outputs: suggested kernel command line input, current timing reads, <dmesg> before and after kernel command line input, <lspci -vvvnn> In the end it seems like everything works well. For a test I moved a large directory and burnt a full CD, all in acceptable time. Even online streamings use not more than 40-60% CPU now after I configured seamonkey, which is said to be more "lightweight" than firefox, as standard browser. Only "sd driver needs update" in <dmesg> and <lspci -vvvnn> outputs I do not know what to do about. Ignore? What to say about that? However, for the time beeing, I'm ok, so again here's my apologize for "making the horses mad"! sincerely Frank ** Attachment added: "attachment to Bug #136506" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27516847/attachment%20to%20Bug%20%23136506 -- LG GSA-4167B (DVD drive): DMA doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136506 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
