I use a promise66, and the installation went perfect but if I try to enable dma
with hdparm I get the following msg:
/dev/hde:
setting using_dma to 1
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0
I have recompiled the kernel with the ide path, but I still get the msg.
Maybe I forgot something, here's my .config:

Greetings, I gather the only way to make this card work properly with a
linux system already installed (Linux came first, then the promise card) is
to compile a new kernel and patch it, correct?
or, do I need to do a fresh install?? 8-(
I am running linux-mandrake 7.1, orig kernel is 2.2.15-4mdk

I'm not really a Mandrake person so I'm not sure what utilities it
uses during the installation process to detect and configure the
various hardware.
I just went and checked the virgin Mandrake 7.0 (kernel 2.2.14-15mdk)
on my kids machine. All the hardware was detected and listed in the
"sysconfig" output file under "etc". Then it auto-magically loads the
modules for everything on boot.
I can tell you that the end result magic is in the /etc/conf.modules
file (as it is in Slackware as well) and it includes:
alias eth0 dmfe
alias sound cmpci
... so these are the modules you are looking to have Mandrake activate
prior to any sound or network configuration. After boot issue a
"lsmod" as root and these modules should be running.
Under slackware I just manually edit the /etc/rc.d/ files and make
sure that I "insmod" the proper module before I issue the
configuration commands. A much more straight forward operation to my
mind.
Any way, I hope this helps. I always recommend Mandrake for its
automated installation process and lots of "eye candy" BUT I find it
awkward to maintain as the GUI configuration hides a lot of "stuff"
from the user.
Good luck!

I've used a Qlogic 2200 hba w/o problems. This however was simply a

Run Xconfigurator. If your monitor isn't in the menu then pick custom
monitor. You can use Xconfigurator to try various combinations of
refresh rates, resolutions and depths. You should be able to find a
setting that works.

Subject: Re: Can't get Xwindows screen large enough
I hope not to insult you with my answer, but did you thought of
adjusting the monitor settings with the monitor-built-in menu where you
can also adjust brightness and contrast? There you can also change the
width and the height of the monitor-picture independently of the video
card settings. I have to this each time I completely reinstalled a
operating system (either win98/NT or Linux).
Once ajdusted, my monitor remembers the settings for the different
installations. I'm not an expert on monitors but I could imagine that
yours can do the same. Note that this is only necessary in case you have
a tube-monitor and not an LCD-display.

Subject: Re: HP 7510e External Parallel Port CD Burner
There is an excellent CD-Burning-Howto explaining how to install SCSI,
ATAPI and parallel port burners. Read it and it will work afterwards.
You will probably have to recompile your kernel.

Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 16:45:49 GMT
I am also having problems with the fa311. I am running SuSE 6.4. I
downloaded and built the natsemi.c driver along with the pci-scan
driver. I moved the driver into /lib/modules/2.2.14/net and tested the
driver using insmod. Everything loaded and seemed to be fine I added
the 'alias eth0 natsemi' line to the /etc/modules.conf file and
rebooted. When the network tried to come up I got the following error
twice:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: resource temporarily unavailable
lsmod shows that natsemi is loaded and ifconfig shows that eth0 is
configured, but it does have a hardware address (mac) of 000000.
Any ideas?
