 |

I can't seem to activate my DMA on gentoo. It says during boot that's it's not activated and that it could slow down fsck or something like that. When I use the command hdparm .. I get the using_dma = 0 (off) . Need help plz[/post]

You need to compile your kernel with support for your IDE controller's chipset in order for DMA to work.
If you don't know what chipset you have and/or which driver to select, then post the output of "lspci". |

OK, your IDE controller uses an SiS chipset, so you want to select this driver in the kernel.
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support --->
<*> SiS5513 chipset support |
