Are you sure that the BIOS has DMA enabled for hda and hdc?-
No , actually I'm not. I went to the BIOS but couldn't find it.
What mobo or BIOS do you have there? A lot of times you'll find it on the first screen or the first option on that screen. If the mobo is, I would guess, 3 years old or newer and auto detect is used then DMA is enabled, UDMA if the cable is 40pin x 80wire.
OK. Here are my results so far. When I reboot now and do a hdparm /dev/hda I get result: DMA = 1 (on). However what I really want is to have /dev/dvd DMA =1 (on). I still have to enable this manually every time I reboot. Thanks again for all the help.
And what did you have done, that /dev/hda is now "dma=1" after reboot? It wasn't so before, right? -- Andreas
