Hi folks, I already asked about this issue once but didn't get any answers so I try it again.
I have an IBM Thinkpad A31p with Debian sarge + some sid packages on it. Recently I updated to kernel 2.4.21 but with this kernel it seems not to be possible to change into DMA mode. (it was possible with 2.4.20). A "hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" reports: /dev/hda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) Has anybody a hint why this can happen or at least where I can get some answers?
