| |
Greetings, I've been running Mandrake 8.0 on a new Dell Inspiron 8000 for the past two weeks, and I was curious whether there's any reason that autodma doesn't work for the IBM drive included with it, or whether it's just a matter of not having a trusted/recognized IDE controller/drive combination. I'm running 2.4.6-pre2, and enabling DMA manually works great and performance is improved drastically (of course). Here's the relevant portions of dmesg:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx PCI_IDE: unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device f9, VID=8086, DID=244a PCI_IDE: chipset revision 3 PCI_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0xbfa0-0xbfa7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0xbfa8-0xbfaf, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: IBM-DJSA-210, ATA DISK drive hdb: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2502, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: 19640880 sectors (10056 MB) w/384KiB Cache, CHS=1222/255/63 hdb: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, UDMA(33) Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4
If there's anything else that might be useful, please CC me in the email.
