Hi, for some reason I can't enable DMA on my DVD drive. When I try I get the following output:
Code:
/dev/hdc:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
I am using 2006-01-RC4 - and have ran chmod 777 on /dev/hdc and chown jebus97 /dev/hdc and also chgrp jebus97 to ensure that all of the permissions and ownerships are properly set.
But still this has no effect.
Can anyone suggest what might be going on? |

try editing your boot parameter to include:
Code:
combined_mode=libata hdc=noprobe
you can do this on the fly in the grub boot menu, or make it permanent by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst
This is enabled by default in the 2.6.19 kernel, however I've found that my computer crashes whenever I insert a CD now - DVD reading and writing is perfectly fine though |

Right, thanks. However it's a bit odd don't you think all the same that DMA can't be enabled by any of the more traditional methods?
I wonder what could be causing this? |

| In my case it was because my laptop - a dell latitude d610 - had a sata dvd-rw drive with a sata-ide bridge (apparently) - this was/is causing issues with both the old drivers, and the new libata drivers |

Mmm.. That sounds what might be going on in my case too. I have a Toshiba laptop - and I don't think it has any IDE controllers at all. (BTW how can I check this)?
So do you know if there is any fix on the horizon that won't crash my computer - and which is stable? Is this possibly just an RC issue? |

Hmm... Thanks for the cool links.
I have been unable to find any mention in those links of my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100 225) or the DVD drive - which is listed in dmesg: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K16A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive.
Does this mean that my drive (or possible SATA DVD-R drives in general) are not yet supported in Linux?
Is there likely to be a fix on the way? |

| Hi is this likely to be a kernel related bug - or is it likely to be a Debian specific bug? I am trying to work out who it would be best to report a bug to. |
