One of my TODO items is tool for testing raw IDE performance, so we know where to put blame for degraded results... :) [ but it should wait until all IDE driver is taskfile based ] > The script compiles 2.6.0-2.6.11.6 (yes "" | make oldconfig), boots each > kernel, > runs hdparm/bonnie++ and create some pngs with gnuplot. > > I ran the script on a Intel 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4/PIICeleron 333/IC35L040AVER07 > machine and you can find the results here: > > http://www.kiu.weite-welt.com/misc/idetest Good job, thanks for doing this. > I am quite busy at the moment and hopefully have time next month to clean up > the > scripts for a release (are you interested?) and do further testing...
