Do you have pciutils?
root@gentoobox /home/ank # emerge -p pciutils
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Now you shuld add support for nvidia chipset in your kernel as cyrillic says but i think it isnt there.
So you must find out how to solwe that. Look at forum with Quick Search
Hope you will find something. |

Depending on which kernel sources you use, the nforce2 IDE chipset may be called "AMD Viper"
I am using ac-sources on my nforce2 machine :
| Code: | # make menuconfig
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support --->
IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices --->
<*> AMD and nVidia IDE support
[ ] AMD Viper ATA-66 Override |

I added the VIA ide support in my kernel (static), but i still get the box saying DMA is not turned on..
Any ideas?

Are you booting your most recent kernel ?
Check the time & date given by "uname -a", this is when the kernel you are currently running was compiled.
Another possibility, if you have a very new VIA chipset, you might need more recent kernel sources (2.6.x) to support it. Check the output of "dmesg | less" and scroll down to where the kernel detects your IDE controller. You should be able to see if the kernel is detecting it properly. |

yes its the newest kernel, remerbered to copy the fresh bzImage to /boot. (please tell me if im way of here)
I have a VIA KT 133 board, not exactly state of the art so i dont think campatability is the problem either.

This is the output from my KT133 machine running 2.4.20-gentoo-r5
| Code: | # dmesg | less
...
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: VIA vt82c686b (rev 40) IDE UDMA100 controller on pci00:07.1
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc000-0xc007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xc008-0xc00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
...
hda: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1210A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdb: LS-120 F250 01 UHD Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
... |
My LS-120 on /dev/hdb is not DMA capable, but my CD burner on /dev/hda is.
| Code: | # hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument |
Does your dmesg output look similar to mine ? (except maybe you have harddrives attached to the VIA IDE controller) |

From one newbie to another: I have repeatedly goofed up this step. Are you sure you did "mount /boot" before you copied.[/code] |
