Have any of you guys ever had a problem setting DMA to a PC?
I know it's not Debian specific. Only that I'm trying to set DMA both my
IDE drives and none of them work. It should be BIOS-related. I've
already set everything I could, but I have no idea whether this was
supposed to work.
hdparm -i /dev/hdc returns:
/dev/hdc:
Model=QUANTUM FIREBALL SE4.3A, FwRev=API.0C00, SerialNo=334813860290
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs }
RawCHS=14848/9/63, TrkSize=32256, SectSize=512, ECCbytes=4
BuffType=3(DualPortCache), BuffSize=80kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off
DblWordIO=no, OldPIO=2, DMA=yes, OldDMA=2
CurCHS=14848/9/63, CurSects=8418816, LBA=yes, LBAsects=8418816
tDMA={min:120,rec:120}, DMA modes: sword0 sword1 sword2 mword0 mword1
mword2
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, PIO modes: mode3 mode4
UDMA modes: mode0 mode1 *mode2
It's able do DMA. It's even able to UDMA. It's not working, though...
I'd be glad if you could help me on this. I'd really like to get faster
reads from my HD.
