It seems I have to! I can't even format the disk under windows, I just tried. Damn.
Anyway, the kernel on the LiveCD allows to mount windows shares, something my selfbaked kernel does not do...
Can I modify the genkernel for my needs? IE the right networking card, USB... |

Well , like most of gentoo genkernel is opensource - you shure can modify it  .
AFAIK when you use genkernel you will run the same hw autodetection sequence as the cd - the right modules are supposed to be loaded automatically. However I sugest that you first find out what is in the box , then which modules are responsible ( a simple grep in /usr/src/linux/Documentation can do ) and build those in the your self-made-kernel.
About the win shares - what shares ? smb shares or fat partions ? In either case you must have the fat or smb modules in the kernel (loaded or built in). Check the kernel config under File Systems. |

Hello 
I have the same problem with my machine.
I'm using a Western Digital (200g,7200rpm,8mb Cache) and an Abit KD7-RAID motherboard.
I do not use the RAID on the motherboard as I have no use for RAID.
| Code: | | bash-2.05b# hdparm -tT /dev/hda |
Gives me a terrible low result
| Code: | /dev/hda:
Timing cached reads: 672 MB in 2.26 seconds = 297.65 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 12 MB in 4.07 seconds = 2.95 MB/sec
|
My brother is astonished over this headcracking low result.
I have enabled DMA-support on all levels in my BIOS, but still, when I try
| Code: | | bash-2.05b# hdparm -d1 /dev/hda |
The output is the same error
| Code: | /dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off) |
I cannot see anything wrong in my BIOS config, and DMA is enabled in my kernel (which by the way is 2.6.11).
What is/could be wrong?
Thanks |
