RH9 enabling DMA for DVD/CD/CDRW combo
Hi there,
I was wondering if someone can help me with my problem. For some unknown reason I can't enable any DMA for my DVD/CD/CD RW combo which seems to be essential for smooth playing of my DVDs. I'm running on RH9. I've tried this [root@localhost root]# hdparm -c3 -d1 -X sdma1 -u1 /dev/hdc and this is what I got from it: /dev/hdc: setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 3 setting unmaskirq to 1 (on) setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted setting xfermode to 17 (singleword DMA mode1) IO_support = 3 (32-bit w/sync) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 0 (off) Everything is all right except for the last line in that message. I put this line into /etc/modules.conf options ide-cd dma=1 but when I restarted I got this in /var/log/messages ... ... Oct 3 20:41:43 localhost kernel: Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide Oct 3 20:41:43 localhost kernel: ide_setup: hdc=ide -- BAD OPTION ... ... In order to disable SCSI emulation of my IDE combo device I've deleted hdc=ide-scsi in my grub.conf so now it looks like this ... kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide .... If I run this [root@localhost root]# hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc I got this /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) [root@localhost root]# Can anyone help me to sort this out please? cheers rf |
