I'm trying to set DMA transfer mode to my EIDE drive without success.
At boot time, I get this message:
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: disabled DMA
ide0: reset: success
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: disabled DMA
ide0: reset: success
I have no more success using hdparm (v2.9) to set it:
# hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
setting xfermode to 34 (multiword DMA mode2)
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: disabled DMA
ide0: reset: success
using_dma = 0 (on)
What's wrong ? hdparm says my disk is DMA capable :-(
PS: I get same behavior using my old kernel (1.3.74) or the new one (2.0.0).
Also, why transfers from PCI to interface card occur in 16 bits mode
(as hdparm -c /dev/hda says) and not in 32 bits mode by default ?
For infos:
linux-2.0.0
hdparm 2.9
