 Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2005 5:17 pm Post subject: 2.6.9 kernel and DMA help please |
 |
|
This is the problem:
Running gentoo, stage 3 install, on a "custom" 2.6.9 kernel.
In general, everything went fine, except:
No dma on my harddrive, and I've been trying to search around a bit. People only say that "enable VIA chipset in the kernel and you are set to go" only problem is, I know I compiled support for the VIA chipset into the kernel(Not as a module).
And I've tried virtually anything to get it working, removing generic IDE support, playing around with almost anything in the menu and so on.
Please help, what do I need to enable\disable in the kernel to get DMA support for my chipset?
(Yes, hdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom or /dev/hdc or /dev/dvd gives me operation not supported.
And yes, I did remember to move the kernel, config and system.map to /boot after kernel compile. |

Shaoran,
Please post the IDE related lines from

Is this correct?
If you need something from the .config file in the /boot directory, could someone tell me what, because it's rather large file. |

Shaoran,
You need the following settings in your kernel. Navigate to
| Code: | Device Drivers
-> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support |
then choose all of the following as Y. Modules will not work, even where they are allowed.
| Code: | ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support
Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support
Use multi-mode by default
generic/default IDE chipset support
PCI IDE chipset support
Sharing PCI IDE interrupts support
Generic PCI IDE Chipset Support
Use PCI DMA by default when available
VIA82CXXX chipset support |
Remake and reinstall your kernel. You should get DMA by default now unless your drive is on the IDE blacklist of drives known to not work with DMA.

Right, now I double-checked and triple-checked, compiled the kernel, moved it to /boot, and right now I feel like selling it, and buying a Intel Pentium 4 at work instead, because this is annoying me to no end.
*sigh* Thanks for all help. |

Shaoran,
Post the output of It will never work if you have a blacklisted drive. Thats for your own protection.

posting the output of "lspci -n" will help.
you should also confirm that you are running the kernel you think that you are, by running "uname -v". that will give you the date and time that your running kernel was compiled.

Shaoran,
If thats the output of it shows that all your drives offer UDMS modes. If its the output ofIt shows that UDMS is active now.
It looks like you have an 80 conductor cable on ide0 and a 40 conductor cable on ide1, since the best rate offered on ide1 is udma2.
Can you do some speed tests please. | Code: | | Thats hdparam -tT <device> |
and post the results.

Shaoran,
If you are doing the test on a CDROM you need a disk in the drive.
I have been looking at chipset DMA problems, so a test of you hard drives would provide useful info.

Oh.*slapsself* I knew that XD
| Code: | /dev/cdrom:
Timing cached reads: 852 MB in 2.00 seconds = 425.85 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 26 MB in 3.11 seconds = 8.36 MB/sec |
Tada.
Oh, I did the same on the /dev/hda drive, and got:
| Code: | /dev/hda:
Timing cached reads: 740 MB in 2.00 seconds = 369.13 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 20 MB in 3.28 seconds = 6.10 MB/sec |
Disturbing figures compared to the cdrom. |

Shaoran,
Its time for the silly questions now.
Are you running the kernel you think you are?
Do and check the version and compile date.
Look in /boot while the boot partition is not mounted. It should be empty but its easy to 'install' a kernel and forget to mount /boot.
You don't have DMA on and its almost certainly a kernel problem.
I'll check the IDE blacklist and post back.

Don't blame it on AMD or your board, it's working really fine here with the same chipset.

This is embarrasing.
I made my / partition the /boot partition, so I had copied the kernel to the wrong place.
Everything is working like a charm now, thanks for all the help. |

I have the same problem, but with an Intel Chipset (i865PE / Pentium 4).
I checked my kernel, all the options that have been mentionned by NeddySeagoon are compiled in the kernel (not as modules).
My lspci is the following :

E001754,
Hopefully you used the Intel PIIX driver in place of the VIA on in my original list of kernel options ?

I've read somewhere in the forums that upgrading to a 2.6.10 kernel could solve the problem.
I'm now running a 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 and I still can't enable my DMA on my /dev/hdc (plextor DVD) and my /dev/hdd (Teac CDRW) drives.
Is it a kernel bug or do have I to active something somewhere ?
Thanks for any help |

E001754,
Do you have DMA working for your hard drive ?

I don't know, because my Linux hard drive is UW-SCSI !
The windows disk is a SATA drive, seen as SCSI drive, so not working with hdparm. |

E001754,
Post your output and your kernel .config file and I'll look them over. If you have some web space, put them on the web and post a link here. I need to know your kernel version too.
You kernel config file will be in /usr/src/linux/.config by default.
