Hi, I just rebuilt my kernel with libata support.
I have 3112 Silicon Image controller with IDE drive attahed.
(I have 2 IDE drives, so I bought second controller to split load between them. One is connected to the MB IDE controller.)

When I run hdparm command, I can see strange behaviour of the ilbata driver:

[root@shrike root]# hdparm -t /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  1.19 seconds = 53.78 MB/sec
[root@shrike root]# hdparm -t /dev/sda1

/dev/sda1:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  read(1048576) returned 921600 bytes
[root@shrike root]#


Meanwhile -T switch works normally.


I know, that siimage support is broken, any ideas, what can possibly cause such errors?
Is it somehow linked to the error discussed in this message thread?


WBR.
