[SLE] Fw: [SLE] UDMA66 problems

...

You may want to check out this howto and get the patch for the 2.2.14 kernel. http://howto.tucows.com/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Ultra-DMA.html

I've pondered the HOWTO mentioned above but the link to Hedriks work on

I have successfully compiled the kernel with the patch found at www.kernel.dk and it recognized the pdc20262 controller on the first boot. The server is heavily loaded with a cache feed pushing the drives, but even so the hdparm -t tests ranged from 18 to 24 MB/sec, and the -T (buffer) tests were 100+ MB/sec. The only problem I am having is the typical problem of modprobe: can't locate module char-major-4 (name your number here) after a recompile. I'll work on that because I like a clean boot. My next step is to complete the configuration of the kernel for transparent proxying with squid. There are a couple of kernel options described in the squid faq that do not appear in the 2.2.13 or 2.2.14 kernel config. They are config_ip_forward and config_ip_always_defragment. Does anyone knoe the impact of their removal? Are they handled some other way now? Thanks for all of your help. I have been fighting with this beast for several weeks and now in less than few hours the problem is near being resolved.

ide drivers has patches for 2.0.38pre1, 2.2.15-15, and 2.3.99-pre3. It wasn't obvious which one was the correct one to apply to the 2.2.13 or 2.2.14 kernel source.

Looks like I need completely new source... the only drive options under 'other IDE chipset support' are:

Generic ALI DTC HOLTEC QDI UMC PROMISE DC4030 (doesn't fix the problem)

I have also downloaded the 2.2.14 source from kernel.org and when I run 'make menuconfig' on it there is no support there either. The only kernels that do seem to offer it are the 2.3.X kernels, but then everything else goes to hell because you have to scrap everything you know about ipchains and all the good examples available on the net, for something called iptables that doesn't yet completely replace ipchains, and many of the config options for most of the examples I have seen are no longer available.
