Slackware IDE problem with ALI 15xx

freek1971 · 03-25-2006, 08:01 AM

My CDRW en DVD RW are recognized the point is that apparently
my ALI 15xx IDE thingy doesn't do DMA.

So i'm stuck with Slackware 10.1 without a CD/ DVD drive
the strange thing is, i'v installed slackware 10.1 from cd

some specs of my system
AMD Thunderbird 1333
ACER CDRW 10/8/32
NEC DVD 40/16/48

ALI mainboard, all ALI chipset

Any idea's

What kernel are you using? 2.4?

I didn't get DMA on my ALI ALI 15xx until I upgraded to the 2.6 version...

This was on slack 10.1 also.
Machine now upgraded to 10.2/ 2.6.13 - DMA still fine.

ok that an answere, i'kl try to upgrade to 2.6.15 and the latest stabel glibc (recompile kernel for P3)

we wel see if this would work

my latest upgrade tot kernel 2.6.15 resulted in some errors.
a new kernel (2.6.13) resulted in the message
mmx_cpy mot found when i recompiled my driver for the RT2500 compatible wlancard

Maybe the new glibc is a solution
