Hi, I was monitoring this thread since I have a similar problem with my Compaq 1260 Laptop. DMA worked until I upgraded to SuSE 8.2. DMA still works under Windows. Did you ever find a solution to the problem, if yes, what was it?
Thanks, Richard
No solution, as yet. Seems DMA can be enable, somehow, upon bootup but I have yet to spend much time looking to see where that might be.
Yast>Hardware>IDE DMA Mode
My IDE interface is an OPTI 82C825. No matter what I put in the IDE Setup for IDE DMA Mode I get the same error message " Error occurred while activating changes." I've gone into Grubb and entered the supposedly correct info but no joy from there either! The lack of DMA makes the laptop almost unuseably slow! So far I havent found out enough to let me look into the innards of the mode. thanks for the response. Richard
