Are you *sure* the drive supports DMA? Check the output of "hdparm -i" or "hdparm -I" to find out of the drive's chipset even supports it. You can also try passing dma=on or ide1=dma to your kernel at boot, if it supports the flags. If none of these work, you need to consider the possibility that you have a weird chipset in either your drive or motherboard, and will need additional hardware to make further progress. -- Find my Techno-Geek Journal at http://www.codegnome.org/geeklog/ _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
