What's a recommended (pref. stable) kernel version with ICH8 support?
Anything in 2.4.x line?
hdparm -t reports 12MB/s under MEPIS and 4.2MB/s under Slackware 11
I can do much better even with usb HDDs :-[

I'm currently testing a Debian AMD64 "testing" installation on a
Supermicro ICH8 motherboard.

the server:
<http://supermicro.com/products/system/1U/6015/SYS-6015P-TR.cfm>
dmesg output: <http://patpro.net/~patpro/dmesg.txt>


The box sports 4 Raptor SATA HDs, one with a system install (sdd1), and
the 3 others in software RAID5 (md0, created with MD) :

# hdparm -t /dev/sdd1

/dev/sdd1:
Timing buffered disk reads: 208 MB in 3.01 seconds = 69.08 MB/sec

# hdparm -t /dev/md0

/dev/md0:
Timing buffered disk reads: 414 MB in 3.00 seconds = 138.00 MB/sec

I get between 30 and 75 MB/s in ICH8. Seems to be quite inconsistent and
system response is quite slow when i have high disc activity. Kernel is
2.6.18 SMP and the CPU is a Core2Duo.
