Hi Lothar, This sounds interesting. Can you tell me how to control when in the boot process DMA is turned on? Thanks, Jeremy.
If I switch on after hwscan, then is the booting alright with UDMA2-Mode. By me the DMA is off during boot normally.
With DMA for IDE I can detect a fast speed for file operations. Without DMA the maschine is slower than a 166MHz PENTIUM I during file operations (copy 1 GByte files from a partition to another).
Now I have a fine speed and I'am happy that the other things work too.
pppd: It helps the option "novj".
