This guide assumes that CentOS 5.4 is already installed on your Fit-PC2
1) Download attached pata_sch.rar and extract pata_sch.ko
2) Copy pata_sch.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.el5/extra/ folder on your Fit-PC2
3) Run depmod
4) mv /boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.el5.img /boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.el5.img.bak
5) mkinitrd --preload libata --preload pata_sch /boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.el5.img 2.6.18-164.el5
6) Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst – look for the line like this:
Code: Select all
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
Code: Select all
hda=noprobe hda=none hdb=noprobe hdb=none reboot=b
After reboot, execute "hdparm -t /dev/sda" to verify that the patch is applied correctly.
You should get speeds of about 50-60 MB/sec
