 |
|
Hi,
i have a problem with my notebook amilo a1630. on windows is udma5 active. on gentoo is only udma2 active. so i think it is a problem with my kernel. Also on linux-livecds there is only udma2 support.
here is the output from hdparm -i /dev/hda:
| Code: | /dev/hda:
Model=ST960821A, FwRev=3.00, SerialNo=3LF0QD7T
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs RotSpdTol>.5% }
RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4
BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=8192kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16
CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=117210240
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,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 udma3 udma4 udma5
AdvancedPM=yes: unknown setting WriteCache=enabled
Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 2: ATA/ATAPI-1 ATA/ATAPI-2 ATA/ATAPI-3 ATA/ATAPI-4 ATA/ATAPI-5 ATA/ATAPI-6
* signifies the current active mode
|
and the part of the kernelconfig which could be relevant:
| Code: | # ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
#
CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
#
# IDE chipset support/bugfixes
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y

thanks

What happens after you run | Code: | | hdparm -X udma5 /dev/hda |
?

there are no errors, but no changes:

Odd. Can you try recompiling the kernel with all the generic IDE stuff disabled? Leave just support for your specific chipset in (SiS, it would seem).

scosu,
udma2 is as good as it gets without a 80 conductor ribbon cable.
The IDE chipset may be incorrectly detecting that you can use faster modes.
Is there anything in dmesg about 80 how the IDE was set up and what was detected ?
You can override what the ribbon detection with a kernel option.
Look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt or ../ide.txt to see what you need.

so i assume that the cable is not the problem. now i will recompile the kernel and try the kernel options.
EDIT:
the recompiling of the kernel without the generic drivers did not change anything.
i added the kernelparameters idebus=66 and ide0=ata66. that solved the problem.
Thank you for your help |
