Slackware 14.0 64 bit - SSD Crucial BX200 dont see as SATA3 problem

Hello please help me with this problem (sorry for my english).
I make clone my old disk HHD to SSD Crucial BX200 (by clonezilla), then make all needed optimalization on my server (align, trim, etc. -all needed), I only achive speed of 260MB/s, becasue Slackware cant recognize my SSD as SATA3, but as SATA2. My mainboard GIGABYTE support SATA3 (I turn on AHCI in BIOS), but linux still see SATA2. Maniboard and SSD firmwares are updated. My question is if slackware 14.0 64 bit have sata3 driver, if yes why linux dont see it ? Please advise.

Can you try another distro.
E.g.: systemrescue cd?

Is the SSD regonized by the Bios in SATA3 mode?

lamacz,

Welcome to LQ.

I am sure that you aware of the dangers of being the root user, so please tread carefully otherwise you could do permanent damage to your system!

Backup your whole system if you are unsure and do have a working boot disk available.

At the very least you must make a BACKUP of the /etc/lilo.conf file.

Copy your working /etc/lilo.conf file to a backup file as root user:

Code:

$ su -

# cp /etc/lilo.conf  /etc/lilo.conf.bak

If you make a mistake, you can always revert to the original file by using:

Code:

# cp /etc/lilo.conf.bak /etc/lilo.conf

Make the change effective by running:

Code:

# lilo

Next, open /etc/lilo.conf with a text editor, such as nano.

I assume that you are familiar with nano.

If not, then read and study these guides first.

Code:

$ sudo nano /etc/lilo.conf

Add this line

Code:

 append="pci=nomsi"

in the correct place.

(Depending on your existing lilo.conf file layout, it should go either below the read-only line OR below the root=/dev/sda* line).

Save the file and then as root user:

Code:

$ su -
# /sbin/lilo

Reboot.
