dmesg, /proc/interrupts, /proc/pci added to
http://www.realityfailure.org/~jjasen/SiS630/2.4.12/
There is also a hdparm.info, from hdparm -I /dev/hda; and hdparm.stat from
hdparm -t -T /dev/hda (3 runs).
I've also added, in http://www.realityfailure.org/~jjasen/SiS630/,
hdparm.info and hdparm.stat from the RH 2.2.19 kernel.
What seems really interesting is that while the buffered disk reads from
2.2.19 are 4.5x slower, 2.2.19 is able to get work done (ie compiling)
_much_ faster. (subjectively, a 2.4.x kernel compile (make clean && make
dep && make && make modules) might take 20 minutes or so on 2.2.19,
whereas it takes 4-5 hours on a 2.4.x kernel.
