Re: Using 2.6 kernel still unusably slow

One of those things did the trick. Everything is totally speedy again! Yay! Big thank you.

Now, I guess I suppose I could just try undoing one or other of the options you suggested I change and see which one causes the problem again.

The big question is, is there any way to get this done automatically, or will every time a new kernel comes out from Fedora, will I have to download the source, manually change the options, and do all the compile stuff?

Some things that you might want to try (but, again, I'm just guessing)

make menuconfig

In Processor type and features  turn off "generic x86 support" and turn
off high memory support.

In device drivers -> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support -> Other IDE chipset
support -> activate [ ] Generic 4 drives/port support.

After install, add "ide0=four" without quotes to the line in grub.conf
that starts with "kernel"


From my perspective (which is odd at times), Linux seems to favor those
who like to tinker. None of this will alter the existing kernel.
