    Hi,

    Recently I've upgraded my system from SuSE 9.0 to 9.2, moving from
    2.4.21 to 2.6.8. The system is a dual AMD using AACRAID hardware
    RAID-5. After the upgrade the disc performance is just very bad.
    It wasn't terrible good in the first place, but now starting simple
    applications can take a minute. The system has 2 GB main memory.

    A bit of googling makes me nervous. I'm not very fancy going back
    to 9.0. Some options are going to software RAID, but I've seen
    reports that that makes the system not bootable. I don't mind
    dumping the adaptor if there is one around that will work properly
    with my SATA drives.

            Cheers --- Jan
