Hi,

Also have a look at Documentation/ide.txt.
I read this already. Searching for "nodma" in this document gives only one line:

  "ide=nodma"            : disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem.

If the documentation is correct hda=nodma and ideX=nodma should not work. I use kernel 2.6.23.1 at the moment.

grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt
 "hdx=nodma"            : disallow DMA

ide=foo_option is for the whole ide sub-system where ideX|hdX=foo_option is just for that HDD.


/usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1$ grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt
 "ide=nodma"            : disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem.

/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5$ grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt
 "ide=nodma"            : disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem.

/usr/src/linux-2.6.12# grep nodma Documentation/ide.txt
 "ide=nodma"            : disable DMA globally for the IDE subsystem.

Sorry, but I can not find this option, and it does not work. Which kernel do you use?

Thanks

Olli
