Two problems introduced by Update 5

[saimo]

Hi all,

my A1 has been dead for a while, but now it's back to life. So, yesterday I applied the Update 6, and everything went fine. After a couple of days of use, the system seems fairly stable (a couple of crashes). The problem of the delays still remains, though, so I was wondering if there have been any findings in the meanwhile.

For your convenience, here's a recap of the delay problem: when make executes, there are frequent pauses (of about 1 second) between the execution of 2 lines.
Test example:

Code: Select all

test:
	Dir RAM:
	Dir RAM:
	Dir RAM:
	Dir RAM:
	Dir RAM:
	Dir RAM:

If I put such a makefile in RAM:, there are no pauses; if I put it on an SFS0 partitions, pauses occur.
BTW: when I originally reported the problem, I was using a PATA HD throught a Sii0680 controller, now I'm using a SATA SDD through a Sii3512 controller and the behaviour is just the same.
EDIT: forgot to say that the OS resides on an SFS0 partition (that's the only filesystem I use).

Just wanted to report that after the kernel update just released, which includes a fixed dos.library, the (mis)behaviour remained the same.
Anyway, thanks for the update - much appreciated.
