I've shifted about 10 GB data and the transfer rate is constant at about 25 MB/sec. Not as fast as before, but it doesn't slow down at least. Thank you. P.S. Can you explain in simple words what was wrong and what have I done now? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If yes, does processor.max_cstate=1 also help (without irqpoll)? If yes, this is more a duplicate of this one: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=325917 If this really helps could you do: cat /proc/acpi/processor/*/power and check how often deeper sleep states are entered with and without irqpoll. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Because irqpoll helps? Then it should be reopened! We should at least try whether the problem still exists in latest mainline kernel. Wolfgang, if you could try a latest (2.6.24-rcX) kernel from here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/ that would be great. You might miss some kmp (kernel module package) functionality, but it should work for testing? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Also dmesg and /proc/interrupts of 2.6.24 (if this one still does not work) would be great. Then we have something to compare... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

More than 20 GB data shifted and still transfer rate of about 70 MB/sec. Seems that the problem is solved with the new kernel. Now I only need my nvidia-drivers, I had to delete them :-). Any suggestion on that? Its up to you guys now to change the bug status (or not), I won't do that again :-)). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Otherwise better use the installer. for rebuilding the kernel module ("NVIDIA-Linux-<arch>-<version>-pkg*.run -K") -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
