 |
|
Here is my situation:
| Code: | hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: -3008 MB in 0.00 seconds = -inf kB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: -1504 MB in 0.00 seconds = -inf kB/sec
Hmm.. suspicious results: probably not enough free memory for a proper test.

and
| Code: | hdparm -i /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Model=WDC WD800JB-00CRA1, FwRev=17.07W17, SerialNo=WD-WMA8E2645317
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec SpinMotCtl Fixed DTR>5Mbs FmtGapReq }
RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=57600, SectSize=600, ECCbytes=40
BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=8192kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16
CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=156301488
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5
AdvancedPM=no WriteCache=enabled
Drive conforms to: device does not report version: 1 2 3 4 5
|
and
| Code: | hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 1
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
using_dma = 1 (on)

| It reports on boot up that DMA is disabled. |

Problem is much more likely to be related to ACPI.
SiS sucks! Throw out sis motherboard and install something better.
