My IDE interface is an OPTI 82C825. ... So far I havent found out enough to let me look into the innards of the mode.
OK, I did a little googling: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=20030512045006%241339%40gated-at.bofh.it&rnum=3&prev=/groups%3Fq%3DOPTI%2B82C825%2Blinux%2Bdma%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN%26tab%3Dwg it looks like the DMA for the OPTI 82C825 is broken in 2.4.20. According to the thread, it might have been fixed in 2.4.21. You can try upgrading to a Mantel kernel. Charles -- "How should I know if it works? That's what beta testers are for. I only coded it."
