Hi All,
I have installed gentoo on my laptop recently and I am having a huge
problem with speed.
The problem is the insanely slow disk access that I am getting.
here is some output:
manticore ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing cached reads: 5702 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2857.11 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 6 MB in 3.37 seconds = 1.78 MB/sec
manticore ~ # /etc/init.d/hdparm start
* Running hdparm on /dev/hda ...
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
[ ok ]
* Running hdparm on /dev/hdd ...
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
[ ok ]
I read on a forum somewhere that this could be caused by the HAL daemon
so I shut that down and no luck :-(
Any ideas?
Thanks
Wayn0
