How do I enable DMA for my Promise 20267 raid controller?
cat /proc/ide/pdc202xx gives:
PDC20267 Chipset.
------------------------------- General Status
---------------------------------
Burst Mode : enabled
Host Mode : Normal
Bus Clocking : 66 External
IO pad select : 10 mA
Status Polling Period : 0
Interrupt Check Status Polling Delay : 0
--------------- Primary Channel ---------------- Secondary Channel
-------------
enabled enabled
66 Clocking disabled disabled
Mode MASTER Mode MASTER
FIFO Empty FIFO Empty
--------------- drive0 --------- drive1 -------- drive0 ---------- drive1
------
DMA enabled: no no no no
DMA Mode: UDMA 4 NOTSET UDMA 4 NOTSET
PIO Mode: PIO ? NOTSET PIO ? NOTSET
If I try hdparm -d1 /dev/hde it gives:
/dev/hde:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
please CC replies to me.
thanks, Iain.
