The proper way would be to put in /etc/sysconfig/ide DEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA="/dev/hdb:on /dev/hdd:on" but if that doesn't work, the hdparm -c1d1u1 it's even better: enables 32 bit access and unmask irq.
You can use then:
DEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA="/dev/hdb:-c1:-d1-u1 /dev/hdd:-c1:-d1-u1"
Sorry, but this does NOT work :-( . In fact, SuSE automatically reformats this statement into- .......="/dev/hdb:udma2" and even drops the reference to /dev/hdd. And after the reformat the DMA for hdb is still not set :-( . I thought for a moment that the additional " : " after the "-c1" were typos so left them out but while SuSE didn't reformat the statement (it left it as is) the DMAs were not set. In fact, the ONLY way I can get the DMAs set correctly is to use what Silviu suggested which is to put the statement into /etc/init.d/boot.local. Once put there the DMAs are set correctly (UltraDMA/33 for hdb and UltraDMA/66 for hdd). (SuSE is weird :-) .) Cheers. -- Ignorance can be corrected. Stupidity is permanent.
