Is this chip supported? I can't get better than 1.5MB/s with a 1.6G WD
IDE. hdparm is not able to set DMA active, an error occurs if I do hdparm
-d1 /dev/hda. I get HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted.
I tried setting "ide0=autotune" but this did not help. Suggestions?
While I am running 2.0.20, this has occured on all the 1.3 and later
kernels I have tried.
