Yes, exactly that one. I went to this verion of the kernel originally because on this list I was told (by Frederik Dannemare <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) that the ac kernel-branch provides UDMA support for the SIS5133 onboard IDE controller. With a standard 2.4.18 kernel (not supporting SIS5133) you get roughly 3 MB/sec for disk reads. With 2.4.20-ac2 and UDMA enabled, I get: % hdparm -Tt /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.26 seconds =492.31 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.42 seconds = 45.07 MB/sec % Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
