Hi,
Could someone please help me find the kernel config settings which I've neglected, that prevent me from using DMA? I expected inclusion of AMD and nVidia IDE chipset support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX=m) would be sufficient. I have tried enabling DMA only for disks (CONFIG_IDEDMA_ONLYDISK). I can enable DMA normally with the stock 2.2.20-idepci kernel. I'm using Debian Unstable. I have tried setting idebus=66 (100 didn't work), and acpi=off.
Follows is a series of relevant logs and messages.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Still no joy. I've installed numerous different kernels now, and can
turn DMA on only with downloaded images of 2.2-2.6 series as
well as one compiled 2.4 series. There are ide-core, ide-detect,
ide-disk and ide-generic modules installed on those images. On my self-compiled 2.6.4 I have
# ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support # CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
# # Please see Documentation/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives # # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y # CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE is not set # CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=y # CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL is not set # CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO is not set

I've also tried passing ide0=dma to the kernel, however hdparm will not turn DMA on following this. Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong?
Thanks, Tim
