type
hdparm /dev/hdb
and
hdparm /dev/hda
for
hdparm /dev/hda
I got
/dev/hda:
multcount = 0 (off)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 1560/255/63, sectors = 25075008, start = 0
.
.
.
.
using_dma = 1 (on)
shows that dma is on. What does yours show you?
