With kernet 2.2.18 DMA mode for my harddisks worked just fine, 
getting IDE DMA working on an AMD7409 controller with kernel 2.4.2 is a problem.

questions:
Why is DMA disabled on revision < C4?
How can I gat DMA working again?

The Information:

in 2.2.18 I get:
--------- dmesg: ----------
PCI_IDE: unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device 39, VID=1022, DID=7409
PCI_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

All was fine.
I compiled 2.4.2, with:

	CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_WIP=y
	CONFIG_AMD7409_OVERRIDE=y
	CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
	CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB=y

and I get:

--------- dmesg: ----------

My harddisk speed is down to 25%...

AMD7409: disabling single-word DMA support (revision < C4)

This is not Ultra DMA it is the class of orignal from ATA-1/2

I'm not using this, since my drives are not UDMA66 or UDMA100

I get 148.8 and 12 MB/sec on my IBM-DTTA-351010 drives.
I get the same message about no single word DMA due
to chip revision.
# hdparm -v /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
multcount    = 16 (on)
I/O support  =  3 (32-bit w/sync)
unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
using_dma    =  1 (on)
keepsettings =  0 (off)
nowerr       =  0 (off)
readonly     =  0 (off)
readahead    =  8 (on)
geometry     = 19650/16/63, sectors = 19807200, start = 0

What does /proc/ide/hda/settings show?
What about /proc/ide/amd74xx ?

DMA is off and I bet you did not enable the new AUTODMA config setting.
