Hi,

Since I upgraded from linux 2.6.21 to 2.6.22 and now to 2.6.23, the OS isn't using DMA with my SATA disk. At the same time, the drive was renamed to /dev/hda, where previously it was named /dev/sda.
The pc is a centrino laptop with a ICH-6 chipset.

I posted my .config file at: http://pastebin.com/m3f736629

Do you think this is a regression in the linux kernel, or is this just a simple problem in my .config file?

Thanks in advance,
Nuno

Problem in your config.

You compiled the legacy IDE controller code in, and it's using that instead (as witnessed by the /dev/hdXX).

ah yes, thank you.
I disabled the IDE stuff and now it works fine. (I had it enables because I think that in previous kernels I had to enable it to get sata support..)

Thanks,
Nuno
