Well, I have written that onboard network controller doesn't work... It's not true anymore. A small howto: 1) add pci network card 2) install with "linux all-generic-ide pci=nommconf" 3) update to the latest distro kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3 4) get http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/e1000/e1000-7.3.20.tar.gz 5) do have kernel-headers, rpmbuild ... etc. 6) rpmbuild -ta e1000-7.3.20.tar.gz 7) rpm -ihv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/e1000-7.3.20-1.i386.rpm 8) boot, remove pci eth, boot :o)

S5000 doesn't work at all with Centos 4.
At least not with the intel boards themselves.
S3000 works fine, 965/975 doesn't work at all either.

Drew, Centos 4.4 works on 965 (I'm talking about Intel DG965OT). Kernel options are "all-generic-ide pci=nommconf". Set sata controller to AHCI mode in BIOS. Onboard network card is not recognized at all. So mobo works, but just buy another board, at least for now. David
What's the SATA performance like when setting it up in IDE emulation? Does it take a significant performance hit as a result?

Do you mean legacy IDE vs AHCI? I did not run the test. I assume AHCI is better. David
No, I was referring to using the AHCI plus all-generic-ide to get the SATA controller to function versus using something like Fedora Core 6 which has support for the SATA controller in the kernel.
What kind of performance are you getting under your current setup?

That's pretty slow. Comparing to traditional EIDE disks, that's around UDMA2 speeds (a UDMA2 disk on a Dell P3-800 gives 20MB/sec). My USB2 enclosures are faster than that (30MB/sec on a Shuttle AMD-2500).
Timing buffered disk reads: 146 MB in 3.02 seconds = 48.35 MB/sec
That's closer to UDMA5 speeds (approx 55MB/sec on both machines).
All in all, not very impressive!

well, 4x old (4-5 yrs) PATA disks on old 2x channel FastTrak PCI controller, so results, so results more less expected

yes, about 20% lower... Well, I did not make computer specification :o), my first thought was to throw it away, but then I took it as challenge to make it run. On, I forgot to mention, RAID5 on PATA was rebuilding and data has been copied on during the test. David

The drive's pretty new, the BIOS is dated Dec 2004, and the mobo is an ASUS A7V400-MX (cheap all-in one, Via chipset), the CPU AMD Sempron(tm) 2400+.
