fwiw I noticed something very like this between 2.2 and 2.4 when 2.4 was new: 2.2 was faster on my Pentium system. I think it was a earlier version of the same chipset.Here are results on 2.6.7-1-k7: /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 108 MB in 3.02 seconds = 35.78 MB/sec /dev/hdg: Timing buffered disk reads: 120 MB in 3.01 seconds = 39.93 MB/sec kowari:/etc#Both drives are WD120 Gb (different models), hdg is on an Abit hotrod66 (promise chips).And how much you would get in 2.4 ?
Sorry.
