Hi all... I've got something of a problem with my IDE controller (VIA 686B southbridge). Whenever I do anything that requires data transfer from one of the devices on it, system load goes to 2 or above while top doesn't show any serious CPU usage by any task; record was a load of 2.5 for copying a file off a CD with top showing a CPU usage of around 10%.
Everything I look at (/proc,/ide/via, hdparm, ...) shows DMA enabled for all devices. What's going on? I'm running a self-compiled 2.4.20 kernel with support for the chipset enabled and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI and CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO set. -- Got Backup? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
