 Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2005 1:23 am Post subject: DMA question. [SOLVED] |
 |
|
| Code: | navi root # hdparm -d1 /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
|
I'm trying to enable dma but I fail. It is enabled in bios however, and I'm trying to do so as root
as you can see, what is that all about?

I solved it - it seemed to have been a motherboard & bios error of some sorts, I had to upgrade
the mobo's bios and all of a sudden I was able to switch DMA on. 
Thanks for helping out anyways.

I have an ASRock Combo-Z, not really one of the top-notch ones. 
With the ALI chipset anyways.
