Hi, Just wondering about the ide=nodma parameter.....what is the specific purpose?
In my epia motherboard my timings are this: booting with ide=nodma from powerup to login prompt 2minutes 45secs. same but without ide=nodma......... 38 seconds. why? well evertime astlinux boots it checks my fresh 2.5 inch 40gig disk. It takes about 2 minutes and 10 seconds to check it with ide=nodma. the remaining of the time is the booting process. but without ide=nodma, it takes 21 seconds to check the disk and the remaining time to boot.
