but i didn't find such ide-interface in the kernel-configuration, and i can't compel my hdd to work in the dma-mode
| Code: |
#hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = o (off)
|
What i have to include in the kernel configuration to do it work normally?
Thanks to all. / sorry for such english ( |

It should work with generic drivers... since it looks like we have the same hardware I've put my config (gzipped) online at http://spore.ath.cx/~dan/2065.config.gz so you can get the config there. You may want to look it over, I have wireless extensions and tun/tap support built in among other stuff that may not be necessary, but it's working very well for me. spore.ath.cx/~dan/2065.config.gz

You shouldn't need to specify it, the machine should pick it up automatically. If i'm wrong about this , please let me know. I'd very much like to improve the performance of that graphics card ; )
