Re: UDMA not supported on my board

The patche's (as there was two one with extra features) failed on a lot of
sections, but the majority of the code went in. Anyway the kernel is 2.2.3
and with the patches reports exactly the same error below. hdparm reports
them as being dma capable, but can't turn the dma flag on. Sugesting it's
the hd controller's that linux doesn't support.

Any other sugestions?
