Hi there..
I'm about to kill my Intel 6300ESB SATA/PATA controller. I simply can't get the performence above 20MB/s on either the PATA drive or SATA drive. Has anybody got this chipset to work properly? I've tried lots of different kernels, most recently 2.6.6-mm4.
I'm going crazy here.. All help would be highly apreciated,
thanks
Here is some output::
