Hy everybody,
I got a IBM Notebook X60s with a new Intel Chipset. The internal 2,5'' Harddisk (TOSHIBA MK8034GS AH30) is connected to the internal SATA Controller. The problem is, I can only transfer about 10MB/s to my Harddisk which makes the system very slow. I think this harddisk and system should provide more and using Windows a could confirm this: The Notebook can provide up to 40MB/s, so it must be a kernel fault.
In BIOS I can choose whether the Sata operatates in "AHCI" oder in "Compatiblity-Mode". I use Gentoo unstable with the most recent 2.6.19 kernel (the SATA-Support was ne orderd so there is a sepreate Submenu für SATA-thing).
I tested these two setups:
1. SATA-Controler in Compatiblity-Mode and in the SATA-Section of the Kernel I only activated the PIIX-Module, this doesnt help, I still get 10M/s
2. Controler in AHCI-Mode, the only active SATA-Driver in Kernel ist the AHCI one. But the problem stays the same, still 10MB/s.
So can anybody tell me which options I have to chosse in kernel?
Thanks
TO
