Hi list,

I just purchased a VBI-Asus S96F laptop Intel 945GM & ICH7, with a Core
2 Duo T560,0 2gb pc5400 memory.
From checking around it appeared all the
hardware was well supported by linux - but I am having major problems.


1. neither the wireless lan Intel pro 3945ABG or built in ethernet
RTL-8169C are detected and configured
2. the disk which is a 7200rpm Hitachi travelmate transfers data at 1.xx
mb/sec
according to hdparm. This same drive in my old laptop an HP n5430 with a
850 duron the rate was 12-14 mb/sec.

Attached are the output of lspci -vvv, dmesg and hdparm
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.


Sounds like interrupt problem. Could you post /proc/interrupts?
It is worthy to try pci=noacpi.
