Subject: IDE DMA setting not available on 2.4.23 as a module
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2003 20:58:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031130195815.GA2409@man.beta.es> (raw)
Hi!
Yesterday I started to upgrade my systems to 2.4.23, some of them were
already running pre or rc versions, but when I tried my Pentium MMX wich
boots out of SCSI and on which I like to have IDE driver as a module, I
found that the DMA setting was not working, hdparm was saying:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
So I changed the driver option to set DMA by default to ON, but nothing
changed, still the same problem, then I tried to compile the IDE driver into
the kernel instead of having it as a module and then the dma support started
to work, either having the driver enable it by default or by setting it with
hdparm.
The motherboard uses a 430TX chipset, thus with a PIIX4 IDE controller.
Is this a bug or is this a known and accepted limitation of having the IDE
driver as a module?
If you want me to test any patch to see if we can fix this, or need any more
info, don't hesitate to contact me.
Regards...
