Re: [SLE] "Failed" message in startup

I changed the setting in Yast to B. Enabled it and "start now". When I restarted to check , the "failed" message has disappeared, but when I looked again in Yast runlevel, boot.idedma it has option B and also runlevel 5 but it says "not running".

This is ok, because boot.idedma is no service or daemon. It is only a script which is started once on booting.

Start up log says :

Setting up IDE DMA mode

/dev/hda:

setting using_dma to 1 (on)

using_dma = 1 (on)

done

Is there anything else I should do?

Maybe you want to check if dma is enabled with "hdparm /dev/hda", if it is activated (1) everything is oki. -- Andreas
