My first problem was the debian-kernel-source, it seems that this
sources are modified, so the patch is not running, now i use the
kernel directly from kernel.org.

I have tried it with 2.4.18, all patches goes successfully in the
kernel-source, now disktest is running.

But i have problems with disktest, if i run it, it will write the
first 100MB in about a half second, than it will write 1 MB per
second(for about 4 seconds) than it will write a lot of MB(in one
second) and so on.

Maybe the problem is the ide-controller, the chipset is a kt266a and
if i boot the computer the kernel says: i cannot found irq set
pci=biosirq

I set this, but the same behaviour.

I enabled the via82xx settings in the kernel.

I will wait what disktest will say and try it with 2.4.17 and 2.4.16.
