Hey, I've added ide0=dma and ide1=dma to my kernel boot parameters, and dmesg shows
this:
Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda8 ide0=dma ide1=dma
ide_setup: ide0=dma
ide_setup: ide1=dma
[...]
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
SIS5513: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 15
SIS5513: chipset revision 0
SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
SiS5513
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xb400-0xb407, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb408-0xb40f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hda: Maxtor 6Y120P0, ATA DISK drive
hdc: MSI CD-RW MS-8348, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: JLMS XJ-HD165H, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: 240121728 sectors (122942 MB) w/7936KiB Cache, CHS=14946/255/63
hdc: ATAPI 48X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12
hdd: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache
But then I'm still getting the "DMA is not enabled on your drives" message.
