Hello,
[please CC me upon replying - thank you]
I have a Highpoint 370 PCI IDE controller, and both my 2.6.18.2 and
Knoppix 5's 2.6.17 display the following messages:
HPT370: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:01:09.0

(hdf is naked, there's no error in partition detection)
The same messages appear when manually trying to enable DMA with hdparm.
The hdparm reading of hde is:
/dev/hde:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 78165360, start = 0
hda, which is on the mainboard controller and works as hde used to as
well, reads:
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 117231408, start = 0
In the controller's setup utility, I can choose access modes. If i
switch it from UDMA5 to PIO0, the only difference during boot is:
ide2: BM-DMA at 0xa000-0xa007, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
instead of
ide2: BM-DMA at 0xa000-0xa007, BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:DMA
Please help me getting DMA to work with this controller.
Thanks in advance,
~Mik
