| |
Hi.
First of all: A happy new year in advance!
Now to my question: In the kernel-configuration there are the two options: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640 CMD640 chipset bugfix/support and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000 RZ1000 chipset bugfix/support
At least the second of those two seems to cause some little slowdown ("This may slow disk throughput by a few percent, but at least things will operate 100% reliably."). 1) Is the bigfixing code only activated when a buggy chipset is detected or do I even have a slowdown with proper a properchipset? 2) Can some help me to find out if my system has one of those two chipsets. This might be a dumb question but I'm not sure if CMD640/RZ1000 are only some little IDE controller chipsets or if they were some kind of Southbridge/Nortbridge. If got a Epox 8KTA2 mainboard (having VIA VT82C686A/B chipset).
Thanks in advance!
