system very slow in Intel 64 bit box.
I have recently installed Debian 3.1 r1 on my pc.
The system Details are..Intel 533MHz, P4 2.8 GHz,^$ bit arch.And Intel 64 bit motherBoard. And 1GB of DDR RAM.The installation goes well. After i logged in the Debian is very slow.It takes long time to load GNOME..and too much time to KDE. I ve looked the #top,#free,#ps but the RAM is free enough. what the debian doing with 798 MB of Free RAM.It sgould load faster u know? Also CPU usage also very low.then why should it take long time?? Is there any clash in 32 bit appli. to 64 bit.? |

If so, that explains the lack of speed. Which kernel does this machine run? Code:
uname -a |
If the loopback device is not set in /etc/network/interfaces, GNOME and KDE can become very slow. Check that you have these two lines in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback |
#uname -a is 2.6.8-5 Gnu/Linux 64bit Intel,1GB RAM.

What does hdparm tell you? Is DMA enabled on the drive?
What's the score of Code:
hdparm -iI /dev/hda #for an IDE Code:
hdparm -i /dev/sda #for a SATA/SCSI And what's the result of Code:
dmesg | grep -i sda # or hda for an IDE You could try to compile your own kernel. |
