Hi, I have problem with my notebook Fujitsu-Siemens V8010. It has Intel
ICH6M chipset with SATA Controller. And SATA II disk Fujitsu MHT2040BH
with NCQ. If there is request on disk, iowait time of CPU gets to 100%
and whole system gets totally unresponsible. For example apt upgrade (of
average 10 packages totaling 30MB in .debs) gets 30 minutes. CPU iowait
time gets about 95% for whole 30 minutes.
My notebook details:
CPU: Intel Celeron M 1,4GHz
MEM: 256MB 333MHz
HDD: Fujitsu MHT2040BH SATA II, NCQ, 5400rpm, 8MB buffer
SWP: 512MB swap partition
Chipset: ICH6M 82801FBM
GPU: Intel i915GM integrated
kernel: 2.6.19-rc5
SATA Controller/disk driver: ata_piix and ahci tested, but results of
both were almost the same.

my measures has

maximal buffered disk: 34 MB/sec
On cnet is said that this hdd has maximum internal data transfer rate
(how fast it can actually pull data off the disk surface) of 53.9 MBps.

I have no other idea how to solve this problem. I'm not sure whether
disk uses correct driver. Friend told me that it may be solved by
increasing RAM (i plan buy additional 1024MB RAM for christmas).
I'm nearly hopeless. I'm trying to find the solution for more than
4months.
Thanks in advance for every hint.
