Any idea why DMA is sometimes on and sometimes not for a few cdrom drives I have hooked up to my promise controller?
Whether it is on or off, whenever I copy a CD from a (dma) cdrom whether it dma is on or off it slows my system down big time. Move the cursor around in X, and it lags, watch X-Chat, the characters you type in slowly appear 3-5 seconds after. Hook the same drives up to the motherboard ide interfaces and there is no lag at all. This has always been the case with my cdroms. When I had my HD on the Promise, it did DMA etc just fine. Is there a problem with the driver if a HD is not on there it doesn't do DMA correctly or something? _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
