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.

Comments?
