Hi all, I flashed my bios, and now when I boot the system.. it gets most of the motherboard drivers wrong... ie its really slow, and if I look in harddrake.. it now has 3 via technologies entries in there.. two are describled as "unknown" and the third is VT82c686(Apollo Super ACPI Under bridge there is the same entry except without ACPI at the end... I don't recall there being anything in "other devices" before... anyway things have slowed right down as well which backs up the idea that there is a problem somewhere... and my hard drive speed has dropped right down as well... buffer cache reads 40.51mb/sec buffered disk reads 1.30MB/sec Thats from an IBM 7200rpm 60 gig hard disk on a KT7A mainboard with the latest bios and a proper 80 cable connector.. also running 2.2.19-4.1mdksecure kernel on Mandrake 7.2 Last time I checked this system, it was getting 37mb/sec on the buffered disk reads... There is definatly a problem, but it doesn't look to be a hardware problem... (everything is less then three months old too. the whole system.) Any suggestions anyone??
