Greetings SuSE Linuxers, I have just built myself a new PC. It is made of the follwoing: AMD K6-III 450MHz ASUS P5A Super7 Motherboard 128MB SDRAM SuSE 6.1 Kernel 2.2.7 On booting I see the follwoing messages: <4>PCI_IDE: unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device 78, VID=10b9, DID=5229 <4>PCI_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later <4>PCI_IDE: simplex device: DMA disabled <4>ide0: PCI_IDE Bus-Master DMA disabled (BIOS) <4>PCI_IDE: simplex device: DMA disabled <4>ide1: PCI_IDE Bus-Master DMA disabled (BIOS) <4>hda: IBM-DTTA-350640, ATA DISK drive <4>hdb: ST34321A, ATA DISK drive Is this normal? If not is there anything I can do about it? Disk access does seem a little slow.

It's normal. If you want to compile your own kernel to know what it is, I can send you my config file for more ideas :). I run a VIA MVP3, do you have VP3 or ALi V? -- -=|JP|=- (Resident GNUbie) Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 On Wed, 15 Dec 1999, Roy Culley wrote:

You're using the ASUS P5A, which uses the ALI chipset. Stock 2.2.X kernels don 't support that chipset. In order to get full support, I'd recommend either downloading the 2.2.13 kernel and accompaning modules rpm from ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/kernel and try if that will run on 6.1 or get the kernel source rpm lx_suse.rpm from pub/suse/i386/6.3/d1 and compile the kernel yourself. Our 2.2.13 contains Andre Hedrick's udma patches that, among other things, adds support for the ALI chipset.

Many thanks Philipp. I will download the 2.2.13 kernel and modules and build a new one. Also thanks to Jon Pennington for his reply.

Greetings, Following my previous mail about the following messages during boot:
<4>PCI_IDE: unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device 78, VID=10b9, DID=5229 <4>PCI_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later <4>PCI_IDE: simplex device: DMA disabled <4>ide0: PCI_IDE Bus-Master DMA disabled (BIOS) <4>PCI_IDE: simplex device: DMA disabled <4>ide1: PCI_IDE Bus-Master DMA disabled (BIOS) <4>hda: IBM-DTTA-350640, ATA DISK drive <4>hdb: ST34321A, ATA DISK drive
I downloaded the 2.2.13 kernel sources and applied Andre Hedrick's udma patch. This all went fine but now I see these messages on boot: <4>ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 78 <4>ALI15X3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later <4>ALI15X3: simplex device: DMA disabled <4>ide0: ALI15X3 Bus-Master DMA disabled (BIOS) <4>ALI15X3: simplex device: DMA disabled <4>ide1: ALI15X3 Bus-Master DMA disabled (BIOS) On ide0 I have 2 disk attached: <4>hda: IBM-DTTA-350640, ATA DISK drive <4>hdb: Maxtor 90871U2, ATA DISK drive The second disk is supposed to support udma. As far as I can see my BIOS is setup to allow udma as far as I can tell. Anyone know why I'm getting DMA disabled. My PC details are: AMD K6-III 450MHz ASUS P5A Super7 Motherboard 128MB SDRAM SuSE 6.1 Regards, Roy -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
