 Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 4:32 am Post subject: DMA not enabled during bootup's fsck |
 |
|
Im getting the following error during the bootup fsck
| Code: |
******************************************************
* Warning: The dma on your hard drive is turned off. *
* This may really slow down the fsck process. *
******************************************************
|
I've tried to enable DMA with /etc/init.d/hdparm but it loads before fsck.
Maybe I'm needing to enable/disable something in kernel, but i don't guess what it would be. I've enabled DMA for IDE and ATA in menuconfig and recompiled the kernel, but fsck stills showing the message.
Any suggestion?
Thanx.

hi,
maybe go into your bios, and enable dma for your drive there... |

Hi,
had the same problem for at least a year now. I just ignore it and run hdparm in boot runlevel to enable it for afterwards. |

The weird thing is that warning started before an update, some months ago

Make sure your kernel has DMA automatically turned on, and/or your driver correct for your hardware. Likely a kernel update did not allow DMA to automatically turn on.
The machine will still run fine, but it'll be S.L.O.W running in PIO mode.

This is my kernel config
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support --->
<*> Generic/default IDE chipset support
PCI IDE Chipset Support --->
<*> Generic PCI IDE Chipset Support
[*] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support --->
[*] Use PCI DMA by default when available
<*> VIA82CXXX chipset support
|
I'm able to turn on DMA with /etc/init.d/hdparm, but i'm aren't able to tur it on by default for some reason. Maybe i have to turn another feature "ON" in kernel.
