DMA in Suse 8.0?

rlculver · 08-14-2002, 06:34 PM

Hi all,

I am trying to keep my DMA settings in Suse 8.0.

I need this in order to get ogle to run not choppy

I run (from root)

hdparm -d 1 /dev/dvd - This sets it to DMA.

The moment i go to use the DVD in ogle it sets itself back (non DMA).

How do I set DMA on bootup and make it not change ????

Cheers

run yast2, select system->sysconfig editor, then from the list select etc-> devices_force_ide_dma_on, fill in the drive info and select save.

thanks for the quick reply...

So I just put /dev/dvd or /dev/hdc and save right?

as when i still run hdparm - it still says dma in not on

and my ogle DVD playback is still choppy

Any help peoples ????

Cheers

sorry, try this. add your hdparm command at the bottom of the etc/init.d/boot.local script.

I have had the same with SuSE 7.3 and had to put the hdparm commands in the local boot scripts, works a treat......
