 Posted: Sat Mar 04, 2006 8:25 pm Post subject: [Solved] IDE Drive running PIO/33mhz... Change? |
 |
|
| Code: | Brewer ~ # dmesg | grep PIO
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx |
| Code: | Brewer ~ # hdparm -d /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
using_dma = 0 (off) |
A.) Can I set the drive to DMA without risking data loss, and
B.) Where do I need to use that 'idebus=xx', and how would I determine the value of that 'xx'?

Hi.
I get the same result with:
My dma is set though. I do this with hdparm at boot time: | Code: | | rc-update add hdparm boot |
with options: | Code: |
taki@viralbit taki $ cat /etc/conf.d/hdparm
# Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-apps/hdparm/files/hdparm-conf.d.3,v 1.2 2004/09/06 02:17:08 swegener Exp $
# You can either set hdparm arguments for each drive using hdX_args,
# discX_args, cdromX_args and genericX_args, e.g.
#
hda_args="-d1"
hdc_args="-d1" |
I don't think setting dma on can ever result in loss of data.
The PIO thing could be a thing with the kernel ide bus options.
How old is you hardrive?

Okay.
EDIT: Did that, everything should be good.
Thanks.
