Hey, I enabled DMA in my kernel (w/ the VIA82xxxx support), and now it works (my hard drive writes are about six times faster), but now I get weird errors in the kernel output:
Partition check: hda:hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } hdb: DMA disabled ide0: reset: success Everything still works, so it's probably not a problem, but it is kind of curious. Here's my hdparm output if that matters: /dev/hda1: multcount = 16 (on) I/O support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) nowerr = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8 (on) geometry = 3739/255/63, sectors = 59568957, start = 63 Anyone know what these errors might mean (and what they do?)
