im having some trouble enabling udma on my workstation.  ive got it working flawlessly on my server so I think i know what im doing :)
 
here is my setup:
 
Abit BD7II motherboard (hell if I can figure out what IDE chipset this has....the non-raid version of this board)
seagate baracuda ataIV ultra100 60GB
 
here is what im seeing when I run hdparm:
 
[root@Godzilla ]# hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
 
/dev/hda:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
 using_dma    =  0 (off)
and this is a message im seeing at boot:
 
Sep 17 10:16:34 godzilla kernel: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31

[root@Godzilla ide]# cat /proc/ide/hda/driver
ide-disk version 1.12
[root@Godzilla ide]# cat /proc/ide/hda/model
ST360021A
 
are there any known problems with this board?  is there any way I can determine what ide chipset I have? - last but not least....any suggestions on getting DMA running on this board with this drive?  I cant handle this anymore:
 
/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  0.37 seconds =345.95 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 12.86 seconds =  4.98 MB/sec
 
 
Thank you for your time.  I appreciate all feedback.
