Here are the drives I used for testing on this VT8251 (AHCI) south bridge on Asus A8V-VM: - Western Digital WD1600 Caviar SE 160 GB 7k2 RPM - Hitacht DeskStar T7K250 HDT722525DLA300 250 GB 7k2 RPM Both with about the same results. @Lennart: Do you think these drives can't give a better performace? > /tmp is residing not on the sata hdd but on an old ide > disk doing 7200 rpm. can you please measure the speed you're getting on VT8251 / SATA? > Still unable to install onto the sata hdd, as the installer > isos are failing to detect the bus+hdd.

Add needed file systems support as well. (You may try do it with initrd (use mkinitramfs) as well.) - create, activate and format a root / boot partition on the sata drive - backup then change /boot/grub/menue.lst and /etc/fstab - copy the data (cp -a) excluding /proc/* and /sys/* - reboot HTH, Zrin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
