Re: Quickie question on UDMA/33

2000-04-12 Thread Trevor Johnson

 Western Digital Caviar hard drives that should support UDMA/33, as should
 the Chipset.
 
 Both boot up, trying UDMA mode, throwing ICRC READ ERROR's then kick back
 down to PIO mode 4.

 Bios's are set to do auto-chose pio/dma modes.

There may be a BIOS option that will disable DMA entirely.

 I've resolved to simply adding in the rc to reset them to pio mode, to get
 it over with (but I still get the errors at boot-up prior to the rc doing
 them).
 
 I simply use 'device ata' etc. forms in the knerel config.

You might try commenting out this option (if you're using it):

options ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA#Enable DMA on ATAPI devices

That would apply only to the DVD, not the hard drives of course, but still
there is no reason that reasonably modern equipment shouldn't work in
UDMA/33 mode.

Are the IDE cables new and in good shape?  Using each end connector before
attaching a device to the middle one...

Quickie question on UDMA/33

2000-04-11 Thread Jonathan Smith

I looked through the archives but I didn't see much current on the
subject (esp. under 4.0).

I have two different machines, both with AsusP5A motherboards and
Western Digital Caviar hard drives that should support UDMA/33, as should
the Chipset.

Both boot up, trying UDMA mode, throwing ICRC READ ERROR's then kick back
down to PIO mode 4.

They each have _different_ Caviar drives, one's running 66 MHz on the
motherboard (older K6/2-300) the other 100 MHz (newer K6/2-450).  FWIW,
the Sony DVD-ROM in the latter machine also dislikes running at DMA
mode.

Bios's are set to do auto-chose pio/dma modes.

I've resolved to simply adding in the rc to reset them to pio mode, to get
it over with (but I still get the errors at boot-up prior to the rc doing
them).

I simply use 'device ata' etc. forms in the knerel config.

Thanks
