Hi, I am running etch amd64 on ASUS A8V-VM which is similar (same south bridge). Please let me know: - what performance do you get on this SATA II? (check that you have enough space for 2 GiB test.dat in /tmp or change the path to sth. else) dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.dat bs=1M count=2048 dd of=/dev/null if=/tmp/test.dat bs=1M count=2048 - did you try or plan to use the fake RAID (with dmraid)? (dmraid version I've tested could not always recognize the metadata in the new format, but SW-RAID has it's advantages anyway) - does the sound work without problems? - does the graphics function without problems? - which driver do you use? My configuration: MB: A8V-VM CPU: Athlon X2 RAM: 2 x 1GiB RAM 400 MHz Kingston ValueRam Storage: Software RAID 1 on SATA II HDDs with LVM. Sound: not used Graphics: not used Kernel: 2.6.16.5-amd64-k8-smp #6 SMP from kernel.org Patched: drivers/scsi/ahci.c and drivers/scsi/sata_via.c (in order to use VT8251 SATA) System: etch32, basic installation, VNC, VMWare Server regards, Zrin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
