If you mean DMA or PIOMode, I only know in #man hdparm If you mean setting UltraDMA 33/66, Tell me how to setting that...

Well, you can't do anything about the *bus*, but you can do something about the disk. Read up on hdparm. If I were running SuSE, I'd have a line in /sbin/init.d/boot.local that read something like: /sbin/hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda This set's 32-bit IO and enables DMA transfers. You can type that line manually (as root) to enable it on-demand. I'd recommend that you do a test first. First, type: hdparm -t /dev/hda &> ~/results.hdp Then, change the settings: hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda Then, run the test again: hdparm -t /dev/hda &> ~/results2.hdp Then, simply compare the results files (~/*.hdp). Be careful, but have fun! :) -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"

Works fine from command line. Otherwise, I get the errors below on bootup, and the controller resets its self. ATA drives are seen on bootup, yet DMA isn't turned on. I ASSUME that all is well using it from command line.

-=-=-=-=- Be carefull when setting DMA. If the drive doesen't support it may freeze and you'll need to boot. (like mine: Quantum Fireball CX6.4A ;-) Safest way go to Single user mode, remount read-only and test it.

Hello everybody. I was having fun with hdparms. Tried some options like -d1 -X34. worked nice with the CDROM, but froze the system on hda and hdc (my disk drives). Digging into "man hdparm" shows that this man page is worth reading. Has anybody experiances with the spin down / power saving options? Is there something clearer to read than a manpage?

if your running Andre's IDE patches, then you also need the patched hdparm. SuSE ships with the kernel patches, but im unsure if they ship a patched hdparm as well. its possible that may be required to fix your freezing problems. -- Rocky McGaugh rmcgaugh@atipa.com On Fri, 2 Jun 2000 juergen.braukmann@ruhr-west.de wrote:
