Re: [Xen-users] Slow IO Performance

[Tomas Florian <tflorian@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you so much Adam ....

I have recompiled the kernel with the chipset specific support and it
works great now.  (getting 30 - 35 MB/s like I should be)

For anyone who is wondering what I did exactly:
- used lspci to find out my exact IDE chipset
- edited my kernel config file to include
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513 = yes
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX = yes

Of course your's will depend on your chipset.  I also ended up upgrading
to Xen 3 (why not, if I'm already doing all this work) ... but I doubt
that had anything to do with resolving this problem.
