edwinclout Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi Guys and Guyettes, I have just bought a Corsair 120GB Force 3 to try and speed up this Core2Duo laptop. The laptop has a Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) chipset, which includes an SiS968 Southbridge that provides support for SATA2. The original internal HDD has been replaced by the Corsair. I have tried installing Debian testing and Ubuntu 11.10 onto the new Corsair SSD, but am hitting the same issue.. This from the kernel syslog..
