Here's what I got: root@seattle:/home/jhylkema > hdparm -d1c3X34 /dev/hda /dev/hda: setting 32-bit I/O support flag to 3 setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted setting xfermode to 34 (multiword DMA mode2) I/O support = 3 (32-bit w/sync) using_dma = 0 (off) root@seattle:/home/jhylkema > hdparm -d1c3X34 /dev/hdb /dev/hdb: setting 32-bit I/O support flag to 3 setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted setting xfermode to 34 (multiword DMA mode2) I/O support = 3 (32-bit w/sync) using_dma = 0 (off) That was gotten AFTER I went into the BIOS and "SET PIO/UDMA" mode to 2/4. Then I set "ENABLE ULTRA DMA HARD DISKS" to "auto." Now, I also have "PnP OS" enabled, could that have anything to do with it? Interestingly, the start-up screen STILL says "IDE DMA 0 disabled (bios)." I'm using an Asus P5A-B board with BIOS version 1007.1. Should I upgrade the BIOS? How about turning off "PnP OS"? Please note that I'm running Monkey$uck WinBlow$ on hda1, hda2 is the Linux drive. Thanks in advance. Bobby Geortgilakis wrote:

Does SuSE fully support AGP? Am I getting the full benefit of my AGP video card?
Also, how do I go about enabling UDMA/33 on my system? I see "DMA disabled" in my bootup sequence.

Ok, Alpha, you do the AGP bit... :-)
for UDMA/33, thou, allow me to share my experience!
Look up in usr/doc/(I think it is "packages") hdparm & @ the command line type the following & see what happens & compare to what you have read & then see me & everyone else on this list too if something is less than coherent.
hdparm -d1c3X34 /dev/hda
Other things being equal, this should get you going @ full speed on your first IDE drive.
But, have you enabled UDMA in your BIOS, you may need to flash it-see you MB documentation....
