Ubuntu 8.4 very very slow on asus a7n8x
 

hello !

Hardware
==========================================
Hardware ASUS a7n8x luxe with AMD Atlon 2700+
1,5 gb mem

Os ; Ubuntu 8.04
==========================================
I recently installed this system new.
Before I used a A7N8X normal board with a sempron 1800 this did function fine.

The system boot is normal.
The login is slow and then it takes a few minutes before I can use it.
Programs start very slowly. it can take a minute or longer to start window with a program like firefox.

There are a view things that struck me :

menu.lst
========
title Ubuntu 8.04.2, kernel 2.6.24-23-generic

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-23-generic root=UUID=d0546c46-4865-4802-af64-d09954d217ba ro quiet splash locale=de_DE bootkbd=de
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-23-generic
quiet

Fstab :
=======
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda6

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

there is noting strange about that, bu then I started Gparted and :

Gparted :
=========
/dev/sda 114,49
sda1 9,61 gb
free 104,89
/dev/sdb 152,66
/dev/sdb1 34,2
/dev/sdb2 118,47 (118,47) extende
sdb5 2,01
sdb6 17,53
sdb7 19,53
sdb8 19,53
sdb9 19,53
sdb10 19,53
sdb11 20,80
/dev/sdc 279,46
sdc1 9,61
free 269,85

Gparted tells me I have 3 disk, that is right, but there is no SDA6 SDA5 there is only
SDA1 and the rest should be free.

Any hints how I can get the box running at a normal speed?
Any hints about the difference between grub-fstab and gparted ?

Thanks in advance

CloudBuilder,

In terminal, type:

sudo fdisk -l

(by the way, that is lowercase L, not one)


Post the output on here and somebody can assist you further.

The /etc/fstab and fdisk -l outputs should correspond with one another but I suspect that they do not in your case.
