Re: 2.6.15 on HP ZV6100 ( similar to compaq R4000)
The problem most likely is that support for your IDE controller is not
built into the kernel. This a problem I have encountered several times
and it is quite annoying. If the controller drivers are not built into
the kernel, you can not enable DMA. I wish someone would fix this bu
they currently have not. Compile and pack a custom kernel and then
install it. That should fix your problem.
