in other mail I asked Erik about the disk's mode: it is PIO, so the pathetic speed and crippling VM/Ext2 performance is entirely expected. I'm guessing he's missing CONFIGs of either the chipset-specific driver or one of: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ADMA=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
