"HDIO_SET_DMA failed: operation not permitted" Of course next step was google on it and i varified that my kernel is tweaked like... <*> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support <*> Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support <*> Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support [*] Use multi-mode by default <*> Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support [*] PCI IDE chipset support [*] Sharing PCI IDE interrupts support [*] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support [*] Use PCI DMA by default when available <*> Intel PIIXn chipsets support Is there any other module to be added to kernel or compiled as module???
