Hi, i have 2 matrox hd disks and whenever i want to set the dma to 1 i get this error: HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted The first is a 40 Gb Matrox IDE and the second a 120 GB Matrox IDE. They are recent disks (< 1 year). My motherboard is abit b6, intel 440bx chipset PIIX4 IDE. lspci reports that it's a intel 440bx chipset (82443 BX/ 82371 EB)
A while ago i recompiled the kernel for LVM support and i think i might have excluded something that the kernel needs to set the dma. What kernel options do i need to have set in order to allow dma=1? Thanks. Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
