Dear developers!
(kernel: 2.3.99-pre5)
I have an "old" notebook computer with iPentium 150Mhz, 16 Mb ram,
Fujitsu M2724TA ata disk drive,
OPTI621 ide controller on PCI bus 00 dev a0
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x8000-0x8007, BIOS settings: hda:pio hdb:pio
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7, 0x3f6 on irq 14
hda: 3187836 sectors (1632 MB), CHS=790/64/63, DMA
Partition check:
hda:hda: timeout waiting fot DMA
ide_dmaproc: chiset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hda: irq timeout: status 0x58 {DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
[.. this message 4 times ]
hda: DMA disabled
ide0: reset: success
hda1 2 3 5 6 7
The BIOS screen reports
SystemSoft BIOS for OPTI Viper 557/558N Version 1.01.25 1.01.25 (3530-13)
(1995)
V1.34 6/23/97
SystemSoft PnP Bios Ver 1.17.00
So I included the OPTI ide driver in the kernel config.
It works with kernel 2.0.36, it doesn't work with 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 series
Please give me some tips, what to do!
The problem is that there is no DMA support for this hardware (this way it is
really slow) and it doesn't even boot !
Thanx for all answers!
(please also reply to my email)
