HDDs DMA modes
The system log says this:
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfc00-0xfc07, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfc08-0xfc0f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA So, I could say that my disks are using a DMA mode (at least I guess so), now how can i find out which mode is using each disk??? I read the ide.txt text file which comes with the kernel documentation, but certainly ,i couldn't find which "idebus" value i gotta use to set my disks to the appropiate ATA mode. System: MSI K7T Pro-2 266MHz (Chipset VIA) ide0 Seagate Barracuda II 30 Gb UATA 100 (Master) Maxtor DiamonMax 20 VL 10Gb UATA 66 (Slave) ide1 Pionner 16X DVD (Master) Plextor 12/10/32A (Slave) Radicalm16. |

The command "hdparm -i /dev/hda" (as root) will display what DMA mode your primary master device is using, eg;
Code:
bern@grendel bern$ su -c 'hdparm -i /dev/hda' PS: You can disable smilies by checking the "Disable Smilies in This Post" box in the "Options:" section of the reply page. |
Thnx for both tips.
