Re: Problem with disk dma mode (solved)

Thanks,

I got it working now. It was a bad BIOS setting, it never crossed my mind that if something works in dma mode in one OS that it can't work with the same bios settings in another OS.


I'm going to guess and say possible 4 things
* Wrong jumper settings - (is that an 80GB hitachi/ibm? - is there a
slave attached to hdd?)
* using 40wire cable, instead of 80wire - (get a new 80wire(40pin)
cable)
* other device (hdd) on IDE/ATA channel is uncapable of supporting UDMA
* bad BIOS settings (set Secondary Master to AUTO, and Slave to OFF
(only if no hdd))

post output of ;
$ dmesg | grep -i hd

and of

$ hdparm -I /dev/hdd

.
