Cannot Set DMA via hdparm
Hi,
I am having problems settng the DMA ( hdparm -d1 /dev/hda ) on a RH9 2.4.28 Linux machine. I always get the following error messages:
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operatopm mpt @er,ottedusing_dma = 0 (off)
The Disk ST3120026A is properly recognized. It appears that the motherboard is not supported. ( I am running linux on a Shuttle XPC with the ATI Radeon 9100IGP / IXP150 Chipset.
Has anyone an idea how to get this dma setting work ? Will that chipset be supported in the future ?
Thanks
Alex

I assume you are talking about 2.4.18?

It seems some experimental support for your chipset was added in later 2.4 kernels.
Could you try whether kernel 2.4.24 with the alim15x3 driver available in the kernel configuration at
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support
IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices
PCI IDE chipset support
Generic PCI bus-master DMA support
ALI M15x3 chipset support
works for you?
