SATA drivers for 80821 (ich7) controller

3 New Member
Hello all,
I'm having a "challenge" finding solution for sata driver or any solution without recompiling the kernel (Red Hat Ent. Linux 4 Upd. 3)
The machine is a remote one (and that is the biggest problem), some Z intellistation as I recall (I'll try to ask somebody for the exact model), which has SATA drives which work in "compatibil ity" mode, as hdX, not sdX - I think it's ICH7 controller, can't check it now (if needed, I'll check it tomorrow).
hdparm says, as I experience, 4 mb/s instead of at least 10X more.
There are some errors in /var/log/messages which gave me a clue that drives are not performing well because of wrong driver, and setting dma in hdparm is of course "not permitted".
Suggestions, anyone?
Is it possible to recompile a module or something, and do an insmod?

I want to make two pages interact through a controller. 1. Page A has a grid and Add button. 2. When Add button is clicked Page B pops up. 3. User enters information and clicks Save 4. Information is saved in database 5. User goes back to Page A which gets new data from database and displays one more row. So, the event handler for Add button on Page A might look like:

I recently purchased a second-hand laptop without any sort of recovery or system CD, that had Ubuntu Linux on it. I am looking to put Windows XP back on, however, my copy of XP Pro cannot find the hard drive - in the setup, it will claim there is no partionable media available. Previously I have been able to use a Linux CD to format a hard drive to FAT32 or NTFS, and then do a Windows install, however, this time it does not work. I have...

I had a preloaded XP 32 on SATA HDD from DELL. I added a new SATA HDD to the system to install XP 64. The PC has no floppy drive and when running the OEM x64 CD, no disk drives were found (no SATA drivers - I'm guessing). I put the SATA HDD in a different DELL machine and X64 installed just fine. I then added the x64 HDD to the original PC, added the X64 Edition to the boot.ini file, but when selecting the x64 OS, the XP 32 installs. ...

i have always wondered this things....suppose we are completely format a system and we do not know what drivers are required. Lets assume that we dont have the CD for drivers. Now i wonder how should we know which drivers are exactly required by the system. I think one option is to open the computer and find out what chipsets are there inside. But this step is quite tedious. So, what exactly i wanted to know was to have a software which would...

I have a Compaq ML530 G1 with a 5300 array controller with mirrored drives that have Server 2003 installed on them. I have recently installed a PCI SATA controller with a new SATA HDD connected, but now the system attempts to boot off the SATA drive as opposed to the mirrored SCSI HDDs. I have run the SCU to set the 5300 array controller as the boot device, but the system will continue to look at the SATA HDD. Any thoughts?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
