No.
Generally speeds depend on the way you're using the discs since
they're electro-mechanical things, and are 'better' at sequentially
reading sectors than hopping about over the s

Hello everybody,
I'm not trying to start a war here but I am trying to find out what's
going on. It appears that people have been having better luck under
some circumstances getting USB devices to work if they are using a
Debian system than other Linux systems.

Is there any way to enable DMA on an external USB drive? hdparm -d won't work. If
DMA can't be enabled, are there any similar methods for tuning that would allow the
same type of performance increase?
Thanks.

Hi Ged,
Kevin is very correct here... BTW, I run RH9 without problems but
I use kernel.org kernels and not the RH one. In the past the RH one has
had more uptodate patches in older kernels because they seem to backport
these quite a lot.

It isn't. But the answer could be relevant to a lot more questions
and could provide more helpful guidance.

Thanks for your reply. (Playing around with this caused problems with my
networking config so I wasn't able to reply till now).
I tried 2.4.25 as you suggested and was able to get this device going by
adding a new product ID to omninet.c.
Yes. You need to read about kernel versioning support

Join the club.
Until now my advice would have been forget 2.4 kernels and VIA for
USB.

I like "bug". I wasn't quite right in what I said. They should have done
some work to eliminate the obvious things first...

A "bug" is something they don't understand. The FAQ says;
"In addition to the information required in /usr/src/linux/REPORTING-BUGS"
which says;
"[7.5.] PCI information ('lspci -vvv' as root)"
so I don't understand your point. Anyway, I'll look forward to your

Hi,
I connected 4 SONY USB floppy drives into my computers running redhat 9.
I found it very weird that the USB floppy logical device name change
unexpectedly ( /dev/sda -> /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb -> /dev/sdb1 etc) when I
plug in/unplug USB floppy drives. It cause problem if I try to "mount
/dev/sda"

I have the same problem with the same USB device.
I think the problem here is a compatibility issue with this particular piece of
hardware. I have a couple of these, they're EagleTec chipsets, ID 05e3/0702,

You might try some other USB devices - especially if they can be USB1.1 -
to see what happens.

That's great Richard, I think you could have edited out some of the
less relevant PCI details but I'm never really sure what's completely
irrelevant and
