Re: About forcing 32bit DMA patch for AMD690G(SB600)

I haven't been following this thread, but I can help test something if it would help. We're trying to determine whether SB600 ahci controller can do 64bit DMA or not. Srihari's couldn't but Shane's test result tells a different story. Do you have memory mapped over 4G (if you have 4G some of them will be over 4G, you can know this by looking at the e820 map printed during boot)? $ lspci -nn 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: ATI Technologies Inc RD580 [CrossFire Xpress 3200] Chipset Host Bridge [1002:5952] 00:02.0 PCI bridge [0604]: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI-X Root Port [1002:5a34] 00:05.0 PCI bridge [0604]: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge [1002:5a37] 00:12.0 SATA controller [0106]: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Non-Raid-5 SATA [1002:4380] ... Is this hardware enough for testing? I can add 2G to existing 4G of RAM and post dmesg. -- WBR et al. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-ide in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Re: How to Switch DMA off for only one Harddisk at Kernelboot

Searching for nodma in this document gives only one line: ide=nodma: disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem. If the documentation is correct hda=nodma and ideX=nodma should not work. I use kernel 2.6.23.1 at the moment. grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt hdx=nodma: disallow DMA ide=foo_option is for the whole ide sub-system where ideX|hdX=foo_option is just for that HDD. /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1$ grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt ide=nodma: disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem. /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5$ grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt ide=nodma: disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem. /usr/src/linux-2.6.12# grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt ide=nodma: disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem. Sorry, but I can not find this option, and it does not work. Which kernel do you use? This is my devel box , running 2.6.24-rc5-git Are you using modular or in-kernel IDE? Modules ignore cmdline options, so you must pass this parameter directly to ide_core (e.g. ide_core options=ide=nodma). -- WBR et al. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-ide in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
