From: Jurgen Kramer To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <1057087443.3373.4.camel@paragon.slim> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.0 (1.4.0-1) Date: 01 Jul 2003 21:24:04 +0200 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 750 Lines: 23 Hi, After reading about problems with ICH5 SATA (Intel 875P) I've set my BIOS back to normal mode for the SATA controller. So now the SATA drive appears as hdc instead of hde. The SATA drive was working in both situations (enhanced/normal) the only difference is that with normal mode there no high system load caused by the SATA controller (As I reported in a previous mail). What's causing the high interrupt count in 'enhanced' mode? Nb I have seen this on both 2.4.21 and 2.5.73.
