This might be true for many kernel distributions, but does not apply
to Debian. The prebuilt Debian kernels

No, the installation kernels do not enable DMA by default because of an
unknown number of not-yet blac

How would you recomend that I get support? apt-get *new-kernel*, or apt-get
source? Are there maybe modules that I should be looking for?

The kernel didn't enable DMA on the interface the drive is connected to.

My output for "lspci -v | more" is
00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. Bus Master IDE (rev 06)

hi wayn
you need to make sure the the ide chipset
swupported by the kernel you're using
- look at the motherboard, figure out what chipset
and than check your kernel config options
- try installing that module for the chipset
"Look at the motherboard" is a little awkward. Try:

Hi, I'm running the bf24 kernel and trying to enable DMA on my hard drive.
My first question is, is DMA already activated?
running hdparm /dev/hdc yields
using_dma= 0 (off)
while running hdparm -i /dev/hdc yields
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2
and hdparm -I /d
12 matches
