I thought this might clarify your question.

What helped me was adding the line in your lilo.conf for each linux entry (Or just 1 for testing purposes) I am not absolutely certain about the first '=' sign as Im not on my computer at the moment:

Code:

append = ide0=0

This forces the first ide device to not be used by the generic ide driver. Which gives your device a chance to be recognized by the actual driver (in my case libata). Hope this helps you guys. Thanks for all your help.

To clarify my previous post to the line needed to be added to lilo.conf, my lilo.conf section for my kernel testing option looks like this:

Code:

image = /boot/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/sda4
  label = LinuxTesting
  append="ide0=0"
  append="ide1=0"
  read-only

ide0 being my hard drive and ide1 being my cdrom drive. This helped me and I thought it might help some others. Let me know if that helped at all. If that does not help then you are most likely missing the kernel option for your specific chipset like everybody before me has said. I recommend building your specific chipset into the kernel rather than as modules because if you make them as modules you will need to make an initrd file so the specific modules can be called upon at boot time.

Hope this helps,

Ok I'm still pretty lost.
Looks like most techies on linux forums are suffering from the curse of knowledge.

My laptop is Acer Aspire 5610-2013 I have a dual boot Vista and Slackware 10
My problem is X is too slow on slack and I think it's becoz of DMA.

This is the output of my hdparm:

/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)

Model=ST9120822AS, FwRev=3.ALC, SerialNo=5LZ13VT0

Drive conforms to: device does not report version:

* signifies the current active mode

windows calls my controller
Intel(R) 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C4

My BIOS has no options for setting DMA. Linux complains about DMA during boot time.Somebody please tell me why it wont work and do I have to recompile to 2.6?

please give us a little bit more info. specifically, the command you ran, an output of "lsmod | grep ide", and any kernel parameters you may have in your /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/lilo.conf.

guys most people have PIIX controler, when enabling ata/ide, it will not work! you have to enable only scsi and right (PIIX)
controler for discs... just try! Don't use anything to check (hdparm is not working for scsi) just play dvd...

HI I Have de same problem on my asus z96f intel 945 chipset , and the problem is that you need disable the ide driver to the libata driver detect you drivers
put on the boot line the "ide1=noprobe ide0=noprobe"
or in you lilo
append = "ide1=noprobe ide0=noprobe"
that work for me
