Re: Generic PCI IDE bus-mastering DMA support

I have Digital Venturis FX 5133 (Pentium 133Mhz) with 5513 chipset,
but did not managed to get DMA support with your patch.

I'm not really sure if SiS 5513 in my computer has such abilities.

I once had an opportunity to work on Venturis 5150 and seems like it
has more advanced hardware (judging on Windows installation).

These are messages from my kernel log (I made some changes in source
to get them, only to get ide_init_triton even called!).

kernel: SIS: bus-master IDE device on PCI bus 0 function 9
kernel: SIS: bus-master DMA feature is not enabled (BIOS)

My question is: does SiS 5513 support DMA bus-mastering?
