Package: linux-image-2.6-686-smp Version: 2.6.15-6 Severity: important Tags: patch
I recently installed a Pioneer DVD-RW drive (DVR-110D) on my PC and I couldn't get it to write at full speed. Tried to activate DMA with hdparm -d1 /dev/hda but got a message: "Operation not permitted". I have a motherboard with Intel 865 chipset, one SATA hard drive (/dev/sda) and the DVD drive. I found that DMA support worked under Ubuntu 5.10 and Knoppix 4.0.2 and after analyzing the logs and lsmod output realized that both distros have ide-core support built in, so it started earlier in the boot process than in Debian where it is a module. Tried to make it load before but didn't get it. I was just about to recompile to test but thought about passing a parameter to the kernel to force earlier loading. Passed hdc=cdrom, and although it didn't load before libata this time hdparm worked and I could write at full speed. I passed the patch tag because I found a workaround for the problem, hope it isn't too wrong. If you need more info I'm willing to help. Thanks in advance. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-4-crux-20060204a Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6-686-smp depends on: ii linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp 2.6.15-6 Linux kernel 2.6.15 image on PPro/ linux-image-2.6-686-smp recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
