Hi all, I have problem with DMA for my disk. I'll try to explain the situation. I have IBM TP T43 and I'm trying to setup the DMA for the disks/cdrom.
The system disk is PATA disk (found at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T43), so and there's a removable cd/dvd, and I've bougth an internal frame for second hdd and its IDE disk. The problem is that I'm not able to set the DMA up. When I try to set the DMA: hdparm -d 1 /dev/sda /dev/sda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) There's a second problem. I want to setup in my fstab the mount point for the second HDD like this: /dev/hdc5 /mnt/sgt1 reiserfs user,noauto 0 2 /dev/hdc6 /mnt/sgt2 reiserfs user,noauto 0 2 and when I boot with cd/dvd I receive during the boot this message: Failed to open device "/dev/sda5": no such device or address and the fsck get stuck with this message: Fsck could not correct all errors, manual repair needed Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue): These my problems :-\ I want to this: 1) to be able enable DMA for all devices: system HDD, second HDD and cd/dvd 2) I want to have defined mount points in the fstab and be able to changing the second hdd and cd/dvd without problems Please could someone help me ??? Thanks a lot for the help. Pat -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
