Just build my own custom kernel from linux-source-2.6.32 package I enabled VIA module in the .config, since VIA is my chipset And there comes up E-IDE at the boot up. tcat@lynx:/usr/src/linux$ diff /boot/config-2.6.32-5-686 /boot/config-2.6.32-10.00.Custom 4c4 < # Sat Jun 11 19:11:36 2011 --- > # Mon Jul 18 07:09:10 2011 1436a1437 > CONFIG_IDE_TIMINGS=y 1494c1495 < # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set --- > CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=m It took a while to compile, about 8 hours. Not sure what is better for me, end/user/wise, SCSI or E-IDE? Devices in both kernels report themselves as UDMA-xxx (VIA vt82c686b), I notice a slight performance gain in E-IDE one flavour. -- Tomas Kral <thomas.k...@email.cz> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
