Hi list,

I just purchased a VBI-Asus S96F laptop Intel 945GM & ICH7, with a Core 2 Duo T560,0 2gb pc5400 memory.
From checking around it appeared all the
hardware was well supported by linux - but I am having major problems.


1. neither the wireless lan Intel pro 3945ABG or built in ethernet RTL-8169C are detected and configured 2. the disk which is a 7200rpm Hitachi travelmate transfers data at 1.xx mb/sec
  according to hdparm. This same drive in my old laptop an HP n5430 with a
  850 duron the rate was 12-14 mb/sec.
...
Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ide1=dma ide1=ata66
ide_setup: ide1=dma -- OBSOLETE OPTION, WILL BE REMOVED SOON!
ide_setup: ide1=ata66 -- OBSOLETE OPTION, WILL BE REMOVED SOON!

Could you repeat the reason for this ides in kernel parameters?
Did you try to boot some fresh live-cd distro?

Yes, I was trying to get dma turned on for my harddrive.

I have booted knoppix 5.1 but didn't check harddrive transfer rate.
