Greetings I have access to a few Pentium4 machines where I administer Debian.
They all suffer from the same problem, at boot time the harddisk is not set to use UDMA by default and thus get looooow performance. By hdparm -d 1 one can fix this. The kernel is of course compiled with the flag USE_DMA_BY_DEFAULT set, and it works nicely on another bunch of Athlon machines I run. By the way, the P4's all have Intel motherboards, of varying models, D850MV, D850GB etc. Any pointers appreciated, Anders -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
