ide chipset drivers ... DMA

[primus]

i have an abit kx7-333R and am using the onboard highpoint raid controller... this is working, but i am unable to use hdparm to set my dvd drive to use DMA... it gives me the "operation not permitted"

i was reading the forums and people say to enable the ide-chipset drivers... is there a way to determine which one to enable... i know i have the VIA chipset, but which option is that in the ac-sources? i saw a VIA82c something, but isnt that for onboard sound or something? i am not sure though.

i just need a quick pointer in the right direction. thanks a bunch

You should compile in support for both the motherboard IDE chipset and the Highpoint controller. Abit's website says that board has the HPT372 controller. I have a KR7A with the same model, and it worked fine. Make sure you have support for the HPT372 compiled into your kernel and DMA should hopefully work. (ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL devices -> IDE Chipset support, look for HTP36x/37x chipset support, and VIA82XXXX support).
