Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source
I have a MSI P7N-SLI Platinum motherboard. It has an nVidia MCP51 IDE controller, according to `lspci`. This controller, according to google (and the solution I found) is actually 2 controllers: nVidia 430 (MCP) and JMicron JMB363. See this for more details: http://www.nvnews.net/reviews/msi_p7n_platinum/index.shtml Symptoms: -extremely slow optical disk burning -it takes forever to copy, delete, or create large files -tracker is REALLY slow, to the point of being practically useless. I am using Hardy Heron Beta, fully updated, as of April 21, 2008, AMD64 edition, on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I have several drives attached directly to the 2 PATA controllers on the motherboard: -primary master: 250GB HD -primary slave: 18X DVDRW drive -sec. master: removable HD bay (various older HDs) -sec. slave: 16X DVDRW drive I have 1 SATA drive connected to the motherboard at SATA channel 2: a 320GB drive. I also have installed a Promise Ultra133 TX2 PATA controller card with 2 PATA channels. Only channel 1 has connected drives: -master: 40GB hard drive -slave: 80GB hard drive The larger drives (250 PATA and 320 SATA) are pretty new; the rest are not, but all drives pass `badblocks -c 4096 -svnb 4096 /dev/xxx` with no errors. Here's the workaround I manged to find: -compile my own kernel based on `apt-get source linux-source-2.6.24`, using the "old debian method" from the WIKI. Attached are the old (NOT working) config from /boot/, and the new (working) config that I made using `make menuconfig` in the kernel source directory. Note that the sound drivers were, for some reason not set up properly in the original .config (as far as I could tell), but oddly enough, worked out-of-the- box. -blacklist the module, "ata_generic" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. (Added "blacklist ata_generic" to the last line.) Please let me know if you need some more info, and I'll do my best to give it to you. Thanks for all your work! --Dane ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Hardy - nvidia mcp51 ata controller: slow access to SATA and PATA drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220349 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
