Hello Alexander,
when would I have to do that? The SCSI emulation is started early,
as I pass
hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi
to the kernel. Afterwars its not possible to adjust DMA for the
drive via hdparm. I even think the drive can't handle DMA, it can
only do PIO?
How did you do it? What mechanism did you use?
Regards,
Alex
