Thank You for Your time and answer, Camaleón: >On standard systems setups (where hdds are connected directly to the >sata controller of the board) and non-complex layouts (non-raid/lvm/ >clusters...)

Thank You. >So, what kind of applications are you running on your system and over >what hardware? For system that I'm speaking now is a Dell's laptop w/ AMD Tutorion64 2.4 GHz, 2G RAM, w/ Hitachi SATA 750G in it. May there are any tunable parameters in a BIOS but w/ a laptop system it is not the case, You know. Since the very first days of using that bright new laptop I saw kernel complains like: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC [ 0.016000] ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ... [ 0.016000] ..... (found apic 0 pin 0) ... [ 0.058765] ....... works. But is seems there is a work around (if it matters any way). I tried to update its BIOS - but the problem was not gone. And think it is a hardware problem. If interested I can upload some where whole dmesg output. Or some grep-ed info related to HDD performance problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
