------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-06 09:25 ------- I'll try installing MDK 9.1 rc2 this week, or the next and update this bug accordingly. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: ide/bus problem with hp pavilion 781.se (pentium4 2GHz) very slow with mdk 9.0 I've tried out Mandrake 9.0 RC 2 and 3 and now finally the stable 9.0 on my HP Pavilion 781.se and something seems to be very wrong with the bus/chipset drivers. I'm no expert on the matter so that is just a guess. File access (IDE or USB storage) like copying a number of files, or just installing some bigger package like mozilla, fills the RAM and the whole system gets "jerky". The mouse doesn't react in X for a few seconds.. releases.. locks.. releases... It's just like as if there were major memory leaks. After waiting a while, and not using the system, the load slowly and gradually goes back to normal. Using the command "top" shows that no swap is used at all during the process. I have also seen the problem when burning with the CD-RW drive. The computer was unusable during the burn process. I have tried with 400 MB swap and 1.2 GB swap. My RAM is 512 MB. Other hardware info can be found here; http://www.hp.com/cposupport/prodhome/hppavilion80418.html Notable is the fact that when I try the Knoppix distribution (live file system on a cd that runs in RAM, these problems with USB and IDE does not occur at all. Everything is very fast.)
