That do the trick !
hdparm -tT /dev/hd{a,c}
/dev/hda:
Timing cached reads: 880 MB in 2.01 seconds = 438.75 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 142 MB in 3.02 seconds = 47.04 MB/sec
/dev/hdc:
Timing cached reads: 708 MB in 2.00 seconds = 353.17 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 152 MB in 3.08 seconds = 49.39 MB/sec
My lsmod does not show PIIX anymore
Thanks Florian for you .config file ;)
Cheers,
David LIMA
