Can you provide what ATA chipset this drive is connected to? The drive appears to be associated with ata2. The following may suffice, for example: $ dmesg | grep ata2 ata2: on atapci1 ad4: 114473MB at ata2-master SATA150 $ dmesg | grep atapci1 atapci1: port 0x9f0-0x9f7,0xbf0-0xbf3,0x970-0x977,0xb70-0xb73,0xd800-0xd80f mem 0xd3002000-0xd3002fff irq 23 at device 7.0 on pci0 ata2: on atapci1 ata3: on atapci1 Additionally, please provide the output of `vmstat -i` to see if there's any shared interrupts with the ATA controller. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
