SuSE-8.2 ide dma on Old VIA (VT82C598 [Apollo MVP3] (rev 04))
ide dma still appears to be unusable with my VIA chipset board even with SuSE-8.2 (it hangs so solid while starting up KDE that the ATX power switch won't even turn it off -- and then part of the CMOS is changed when I reboot!) This is no big problem for me since I have gotten used to not using DMA on this machine, but I just wondered if there were any VIA chipset users reading this list who had gotten it work.

What board is that mate? and what is the main chipset? Ive got 8.2 working
fine on the KT266A chipset with DMA

Solved this with: hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/hdc However i think this only works for my chipset. regards, Marcel

Ensure that you use ide-scsi emulation for the DVD/CD-RW, DMA should work better using this. - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 33795A2C KDE: http://www.koffice.org, http://printing.kde.org, http://usability.kde.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+q7uqF8Iu1zN5WiwRAtcpAJ9vy9USKDnc6MkAWDk3TlrxBmkTUQCfduHi 9CqtxLuEc36Dc57+zCf4uvg= =uWLL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
