Hi
Have been trying to turn on DMA on my AMD64 and I am getting this error message

setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I have been trying to do this because I get

Warning DMA is turned off on your hard drive, this may slow down the fsck process

when I boot up

Thanks

Zitat:

Change cable and/or master/slave mode.

The hard drive is set as master with the Jumper and in the BIOS. The cable seems to be connected.

I am not exactly sure what you mean?

Thanks

rahish, connect it to another ata or sata port and use another cable to make sure, cable is ok and try again.

Rahish check if the cable has 80-wires. 40-wire-cable givs you this msg.

Operation not permitted? Logon as root and try again!
