Right now I noticed the Win32 benchmark/test application Sandra mentioned an SMBus problem with the A7A266 as well. I have yet to try lm_sensors myself, but it looks like I won't get far. > May 22 21:45:07 pollux kernel: ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev > 20 > May 22 21:45:07 pollux kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of > device 00:04.0. Please try using pci=biosirq. I get the same message, but it does not appear to dramatically affect my performance. As I mentioned, I am getting 25MB/s (through hdparm; I have yet to try anything more) with my Quantum Fireball. My DMA is enabled in the BIOS and detected by the kernel. > The routing to IQR 0 sounds funny to me, but this is already way beyond > what I understand. Do you have the PnP operating system setting in the BIOS turned off? (ie. telling the BIOS you have non-PnP aware O/S) I noticed that prior to doing this, all of my PCI cards were listed as IRo 0.
