[mythtv-users] LiveTV with via M-9000 board

[Peter]

this are the test with the 2.4.18 kernel (Debian)

Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 10.89 seconds =  5.88 MB/sec
Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  1.71 seconds = 74.85 MB/sec

I have loaded the 2.4.20 Kernel, there the MB/sec 3times faster... but i
think this would be better when i get running the 2.5dev Kernel.(it compiles
perfect, but when i start it displays nothing, but i thing the kernel
started, because of fsck checks next boot time) On the Via site they sad
that there is a bug in the IDE driver and all seems to be fixed in the 2.5
Kernel.
