On a Red Hat Linux v7.3 system I was able to set DMA on my hard disk.
After doing a clean install of RHL v9, now I can't set DMA on the exact
same hardware (a Compaq Presario 1260, if it matters).
My first thought was that one of the many patches that RH applied to the
stock v2.4.20 kernel broke my capacity for DMA. After rebuilding from
plain-vanilla 2.4.20 source, though, I still can't set DMA access on my
hard disk.
I don't see either my IDE chipset or hard disk (see identity of both
below) on the blacklist, so I am at a loss as to what further
investigations I can do.
Any advice on this? Thanks.
