Ok. I try to explain again. The L440GX+ Server board has a AIC 7896 onboard (I haven't put), whith 2 SCSI interfaces: one with 80Mb transfer rate and one with 40Mb. I have 2 SCSI disk (with 80Mb transfer rate) and did the following tests: . I put the SCSI disk in 80Mb interface; . I put the SCSI disk in 40Mb interface; . I added a 2940 (with 80Mb transfer rate) and I put the disck SCSI. All tests didn't work, so my server stays very slow. > > Another test that I have done with my kernel was to put the flags below: > > This only refers to IDE drives not SCSI drives.

I don't use IDE disk. What is your BIOS and BMC firmware version? I called to Intel support and they told me that my version BIOS is out of date. I have to upgrade to 1.05 (BMC firmware) and 7.3 (BIOS). Could it be this my problem? Thanks.
