Hi,

Cannot enable dma mode to ide dvd/cd/hd drives.
Did it work with earlier kernels?
Did you load the chipset-specific module? Most ATA interfaces these days need one for DMA.

yes. amd74xx (I think discover loads it)
friend has same problem with: sata_via and via82cxxx
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
That error code ("Operation not permitted") is misleading, unfortunately.
