I've just upgraded my system from a 1.6gig to a 3.2gig p4 and have a new motherboard etc. When I boot I get an error saying "warning dma is disabled" or something similar to that :) .The BIOS is set to auto on UDMA and the only other option is disabled so I guess it should be enabled.
When I do hdparm I get this-
Code:
# hdparm /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 9729/255/63, sectors = 156301488, start = 0

# hdparm /dev/hdb

/dev/hdb:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 9729/255/63, sectors = 156301488, start = 0


I setup the hdparm otions ages ago on install but since new cpu + mobo my fps on timedemo quake3 have dropped? :( am thinking might be something to do with this??

Have you compiled DMA it into the kernel?

Device Drivers
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support --->

Also don't forget to include the appropriate chipset for your new motherboard.

seems to be a fsck error :(.

I tried emerging pciutils and have checked the kernel setup and re-compiled it but the error still comes up :(
