Well, I understand that is the case, however, the reporting on boot is
just incorrect (I think). I just spent a bit of this evening taking a
look at all of this on my machine.
Here are the boot messages:
ide: i82371 PIIX (Triton) on PCI bus 0 function 57
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f
hda: Maxtor 87000D8, 6679MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=851/255/63, UDMA
hdb: BCD-24X 1997-06-27, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
And here is what is in /proc/pci:
Bus 0, device 7, function 1:
IDE interface: Intel 82371AB PIIX4 IDE (rev 1).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. Master Capable.
Latency=64.
I/O at 0xf000.
Here is the output from hdparm -tT /dev/hda:
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.64 seconds = 78.05 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 7.11 seconds = 9.00 MB/sec
So it appears I have a PIIX4, which is not being correctly reported
during bootup.
