Good news! Here are solutions to two problems. It seems lspci doesn't
recognize alot of the hardware in this notebook. Run update-usbids and
then run update-pciids. Now all of your hardware should be recognized
when you run lspci.
Also, I'm seeing faster disk writes now. Check this out:
Code:
--------------------
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.03 seconds = 33.61 MB/sec
--------------------
The first thing that caused the speed increase is switching kernels...I
mentioned that earlier. But what *doubled* my speed is changing
/boot/grub/menu.lst to the following:
Code:
--------------------
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro acpi=off console=tty0 single
--------------------
I just needed to remove 'noapic' and add acpi=off. I think this is fast
as the hard drive gets on the 5400rpm drive. I'm happy with it :D
