Following the tips in another thread, I have successfully used hdparm to enable DMA and to measure its improvement on my IDE hard disk.
Now I want to enable DMA at boot time. According to the kernel docs (ide.txt.gz and kernel-parameters.txt.gz) I should be able to do this with the kernel parameter ide0=dma, but it doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong, or is this not supported? If not, should I enable DMA with an hdparm command in an init script, or do something else? I'm using kernel 2.4.18-k7 in Woody. Motherboard: Micro-Star K7T Pro2-A (MS-6330) Disk: Maxtor DiamondMax UDMA100. Any help is appreciated. -- Cheers, Clive PS apologies to anyone who has received this query twice.
