Hi!

I installed a new PCI-IDE card to get ATA-133 supported. I have SIL680. I had it compiled into the kernel together with reverse order detection.

I double checked that I compiled in the cdrom support.

I tried to mount it from /dev/hdg (it is on mboard secondary IDE Master and Slave).
It just says that /dev/hdg is not a valid block device.

Another problem is, what is causeing those error message at the bottom of the kernel messages?

It says hda DMA disable. What is the point of having PCI-IDE for ATA-133 then?

Please help....

Thanks in advance.

p.s. sorry for posting entire dmesg here. thought it could help in helping me.






Here is the dmesg =>
