From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.3 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020523 Description of problem: Everything is slower running on 7.3. DVD's won't run smoothe to jerky. I had 7.2 installed and had already upgraded to KDE 3 so I know thats not the problem. Support sent me here. It may well be the filesystem or a driver change with my hardware. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Always, can't reboot or turn things off to help 2. 3. Additional info: System is stable, Just never expected this upgrade to slow my P4 1.7ghz with 512 ddr 2100 ram down.
Check if DMA is enabled on your hard drives and/or DVD drive. Use "hdparm -d /dev/hdx" where x is the actual device letter. I noticed DMA became disabled on a few of my machines after 7.2 to 7.3 upgrade.
The dma had been disabled switched it on and DVD's now play. The system is still slower. I have a sis 645 chipset and I see that the sis5513 IDE driver was not installed (or compiled) and haven't figured out how to install it with out compiling a new kernel (don't know if its the problem or not).
This is not related to the installer, reassigning.
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=y in all our configs...
