Bug#270199: Performance prob applies to 2.4.27-1-686 too

I would expect to do better than that LX chipset. Pentium II 233 and I
can get around 25 Mbytes/sec on drives from about three years go.
using_dma = 1 (on)
So we've established that your controller doesn't seem to want to do
DMA. You seem to be using the piix driver, correct? I do, too...
Could you post a dmesg from 2.4.27-1-686, and also try some older
kernels to see if this is a regression and not a bug that has always
been there? (Hint: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=270199
Behold piix.c, 2.4.27:
/* UDMA 33 capable */
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB: <--- this is you
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82443MX_1:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82451NX:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82801AB_1:
return 1;
So it SHOULD be working.
Also attach the output from cat /proc/ide/piix.
Note, if it doesn't exist, piix refused to handle your device, which
sounds like the older problem (except that it's fixed now!)
Yeah.
Well in view of this

I assume you don't want me to try the older kernels? Installing kernels
on this box is a bitch.
I've got 2.6.8 here to see if it can find the drive.
btw I've not seen anything anywhere that tells me whether I have an
80-pin cable. I have, but I'd like to see that it's recognised.
