Hello,
One of my harddisks has a problem with dma mode, but it works oke
without dma. I use it primary as a temporary storage device. But every
time i boot redhat, it takes ages passing the 'partition check'. The
error is 'timeout waiting for DMA'. I tried shutting down DMA by setting
the USE_DMA=0 variable in the /etc/harddiskhdb file, and somewhere i
read to insert a 'ide0=nodma' somewhere in lilo.conf. But that does not
work (and I can't find anywhere in the docs such an option for lilo).
So, how can i skip the partition check for /dev/hdb? Or make the system
aware that it should not use dma with that drive?
Thanks for any help,
Bert.
