Thanks to this and many other older list I see that I'm not the only one with hardrive speed problems. Somebody just gave me an dell inspiron 8200. As I work already longtime with ubuntu I want to give this laptop to a pastor with ubuntu Feisty on it. But I do not succeed until now to get a work around to fix this issue even if you have to mount cd's manually.
qoute: It does however work if I add the rule in /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/10-ide-drives.fdi. I haven't yet examined the source for hald to figure out why blacklisting the device through config-files in /etc doesn't have the same effect as changing the vendor-file in /usr/share/hal. qoute Per Heldal or anybody else can you please provide an answer what to exactly do in Feisty to get good hd performance? What do you mean with a rule in .... Thanks a lot.
