 |
|
Hello, I see this error message when I boot linux.
| Code: | ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 89
VP_IDE: detected chipset, but driver not compiled in!
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:11.1. Please try using pci=bi osirq.
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xb400-0xb407, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb408-0xb40f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio

Also my performance in X is terrible when doing HD copying. The cursor hangs every few seconds, and typed text lags for a few seconds too. Could this error have something to do with it? I'm running gnome on an Athlon XP 1800 so surely it could handle the load? |

this mean that your kernel don t have the right driver compiled for your hd controller.
enable it in your kernel , then do : hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/your_disk.
it should speed up your hd a bit

right, but how do i go about finding out what ide controller i have? I have an ASUS A7V333 mb, with athlon xp 1800+
Says VIA KT333, is that the controller?
EDIT: did some forum searching... the VIA82Cxxx is the right kernel option, with "USE DMA by Default" also enabled. By doing this I get the following hdparm output
| Code: | /dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 4866/255/63, sectors = 78177792, start = 0 |
without using any hdparm options at bootime, the kernel sets it all. One thing that bothers me though (hdparm -I /dev/hda);
| Code: | ATA device, with non-removable media
Model Number: MAXTOR 6L040J2
Serial Number: 662217246890
Firmware Revision: A93.0500
Standards:
Used: ATA/ATAPI-5 T13 1321D revision 1
Supported: 5 4 3 2 & some of 6 |
some of 6 yet my hd is set to use UDMA mode 6.
| Code: |
UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 *udma6
hda: 78177792 sectors (40027 MB) w/1819KiB Cache, CHS=4866/255/63, UDMA(133) |
could this be a problem? |

I think it's your controller , yes.
the udma6 thing should not be a problem .
