my pc.conf : AMD64 2800+,Asus K8S-MX
the motherboard has an onboard ethernetcontroller: SiS 190 / 191
anybody with this m/b and managed to getethernet
working??? I tried gentoo-64-(univ.cd),Ubunto-64 but
couldnt
find aprop. drivers.. SiS190.c is there in kernel sourcetree.. upto
2.6.5
but i couldnt see it after that.. I installed gentoo anyway.. and also FC3
(recompiled
kernel 2.6.11.11) .. but some how I feel its not
as
fast as it shud be.. sadly though, winXP runs decently fast..
The performance is slow..coz ..dma is not enabled. ..issue is with the ide-controller...
try "hdparm -d1 /dev/hda"
if you get "operation not permitted"...then u`ll have to recompile the kernel...with the sis5513 support built in rather than a loadable module...if recompiling doesn`t work then u`ll have to make some changes in the driver source.
(i posted before but the mail was lost !)
Yeah man thanx for giving me this hint!!.. I got it.. [root@C root]$hdparm -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 1892 MB in 2.00 seconds = 944.73 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 166 MB in 3.03 seconds = 54.81 MB/sec ^^^^^^^^^^^^ used to be some 1.3Mb/s before.. !!
[root@C root]$hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) ^^^^^^^^^^^ using_dma = 1 (on) IS THIS OK ? keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 16383/255/63, sectors = 80026361856, start = 0
and UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5
I thought ATA_133 was a best option (my chipset is SIS965L)
Ne way it was great hack.. enjoyed it thoroughly could u suggest something for the ethernet too?
try this...if it works..if not, then then let me know..i`ll tell u the changes...
as for the ethernet ..there seems to be issue with the support...in my case only SuSE 9.3 was able to detect it...dont remember the exact driver name....
