Hi Andre!

 ...after a recompilition of the kernel (CONFIG_VIA82XXX_TUNING set by hand)
 right after booting, hdparm shows the following:

 
/dev/hda:
 multcount = 0 (off)
 I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq = 0 (off)
 using_dma = 0 (off)
 keepsettings = 0 (off)
 nowerr = 0 (off)
 readonly = 0 (off)
 readahead = 8 (on)
 geometry = 25232/16/63, sectors = 25434228, start = 0

 again, DMA is not set.

 cat /proc/ide/via shows

  Command register = 0x7
  Master Read Cycle IRDY 0 Wait State
  Master Write Cycle IRDY 0 Wait State
  FIFO Output Data 1/2 Clock Advance: off
  Bus Master IDE Status Register Read Retry: on
  Latency timer = 32 (max. = 0)
  Interrupt Steering Swap: off
  ------------------Primary IDE------------Secondary IDE-----
  both channels togth: yes yes
  Prefetch Buffer : on on
  Post Write Buffer: on on
  FIFO Conf/Chan. : 08 08
  Threshold Prim. : <NULL> <NULL>
  Read DMA FIFO flush: on on
  End Sect. FIFO flush: on on
  Max DRDY Pulse Width: <NULL>
  Bytes Per Sector: 512 512
  --------------drive0------drive1-------drive0------drive1----
  DMA enabled: no no yes no
  Act Pls Width: 03 11 11 11
  Recovery Time: 01 09 09 09
  Add. Setup T.: 4T 4T 4T 4T
  ------------------UDMA-Timing-Control------------------------
  Enable Meth.: 1 0 0 0
  Enable: yes no no no
  Transfer Mode: PIO DMA DMA DMA
  Cycle Time: 2T 5T 5T 5T

 and transferrates are low at all....(so even proc is lying and hdparm is
 wrong: my "sleepy" computer tells me, that DMA is really not set....

 If I can help in any way: mail me!

 

 KEEP HACKING!
