Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, sorry if that's not the case. I would appreciate if anyone can point me to the proper forum. OK, the thing is I have an Intel i810 chipset based motherboard, with Pentium-II @400MHz running RH 6.1 stock. The mobo manual claims that it has ATA-66 IDE controller on-board. Linux works fine with it (kernel 2.2.12 and 2.2.14). But when I do hdparm -t /dev/hda, I get barely 4 MB/sec when use_dma, 32 bit IO and multicount are off. When I do hdparm -c1 -d1 -m16 /dev/hda, I do see a noticable speed increase, but after that if I do hdparm -t /dev/hda, I keep getting more or less chaotic results, with the throughput varying anywhere between 5 MB/sec to 18 MB/sec. Any ideas as to why should this happen? Am I doing anything wrong? Thanx a lot for your time. I hope someone will help me figure out what's going on in my machine...
