You don't have the driver for your IDE chipset compiled in. In the "ATA/ ATAPI/MFM/RLL support" under "Device Drivers" menu select "AMD and nVidia IDE support". Also, you can disable the "Generic PCI IDE Chipset Support" and the "VIA82CXXX chipset support" you seem to have enabled.

Then you should be able to do DMA, and things will go a lot faster.


Hope this helps.

Oops!, thanks. The previous motherboard used the VIA chipset, so that got missed when I changed over.

Sid.
