I can't get DMA working at all on my dual G4 tower. When I try to turn it on with hdparm (hdparm -d1 /dev/hda) I get errors on the console and it gets turned off again. Is there some module I should have loaded? This is really distressing; my swap partition is on this non-DMA drive, so things get VERY SLOW when I do anything memory-intensive (like running KDE, Kaffeine, xchat, mozilla, gaim, and several xterms all at once). Please help!
