Hi guys
Appreciate all the assistance that anyone can provide.
I have an ABIT IG-80 motherboard, which uses an intel 915 chipset.
When I do an hdparm -t -T /dev/hda I get the following result
/dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 3928 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1963.32 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 8 MB in 3.32 seconds = 2.41 MB/sec
Now the drive is a 200gb, pata drive and when I try and activate DMA using
hdparm -d1 /dev/hda it comes back with
/dev/hda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off)
I am using the defualt debian kernel 2.6.15.
Any ideas as to why it wont let me activate DMA ?
Ben
