Thanks all.
Arjan, using combined_mode=libata and making a new ramdisk increased my
xfer rate from 1.xx mb/sec to 28.xx mb/sec.
I am curious as to why my friends dell inspiron 8200 with a 1.8ghz p4
and the same drive using the same drive with FC6 and the standard ide
module gets 44 to 45 mb/sec.
The figures are so similar to the problem I recently posted that you
might want to give a shot at unloading ehci_hcd module, then try
again getting performance numbers from the IDE disk. In my case
unloading ehci_hcd boosts IDE performance from 20 to 40MB/s
(but of course kills USB2 disk performance).
