This is what I found: David@davidsmind.kicks-ass.net# dmesg|grep -i dma ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc000-0xc007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0xc008-0xc00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: dma_intr: status=0xd0 { Busy } hda: DMA disabled okaaay, what the heck is going on here? I've turned on dma with hdparm...but according to hdparm -Tt tests (which seem to be REALLY slow) it doesn't seem to do much...help? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
