I then tried one of the unofficial rpms for the 2.6.x kernel and recieved the same performance issue. I then downloaded the source code to 2.4.24 and compiled the kernel myself. I rebooted and ran the same hdparm command under the same situation. I recieved almost 9MB/s constant data transfers but I also recieved 109MB/s for my hard drives cache. The computer was much more responsive with the new kernel and ran amazing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.22-xxxx How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.do an install of fedora core 1 2.hdparm -tT /dev/hda1 3. Actual Results: 9MB/s constant data 20MB/s cache Expected Results: 9MB/s constant data 109MB/s cache Additional info: The Dell Latitude CPi D266XT uses a PII cpu. It uses the Intel PIIx ide module.
