[gentoo-user] new kernel, hdparm not happy

[David Relson]

Greetings!

I've recently updated from kernel 2.6.20 to 2.6.24 a little used
machine.  The new kernel is working quite well.  However hdparm isn't
happy.  

Running either "hdparm -d0 /dev/hda" or "hdparm -d1 /dev/hda" gives a
"HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted" error.  Using the same
config for 2.6.25 gives the same result as 2.6.24.

Here are the DMA related options that are enabled:

OLD (2.6.20):

    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
    CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y
    CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
    CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
    CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API=y


NEW (2.6.24 and 2.6.25):
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
    CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA=y
    CONFIG_HAS_DMA=y
    CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API=y
    CONFIG_SCSI_DMA=y
    CONFIG_ZONE_DMA=y
    CONFIG_ZONE_DMA_FLAG=1

Can anybody tell me what I've missed?

Thanks.

David

Hi,

Isn't that an option which considers all disks to be SATA ?

Not sure, but you might check that.

Sincerely,

Are

CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC

and

CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC

enabled? If so, please try to deactivate them/compile them as modules
and don't load them.
