Can you make DMA work by using a stock Debian kernel?
Good point i've got this with the stock 2.6.10-1-686 kernel.
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 78 MB in 3.12 seconds = 24.96 MB/sec
However i've got this when i do an lsmod:

Which one is the correct module?
Oh, not sure, you probably need your chipset support as well as
IDE-related stuff.
Questions:
1. How does this 'lsmod' list compare to when you use your own custom
kernel?
2. What are your reasons for using a custom kernel? How did you
configure it, what's different/new/removed?
Dave.
Ok,
1. my lsmod does not have all these modules labelled as [permanent].
I've eliminated them during the recompiling of the kernel, since during
boot up i've got error messages claiming that the load of these modules
failed.
2. Apart from changes of point 1, i've enabled the system to use the
Intel Speedstep cpufreq module and the ondemand governor.
Regards,
MC
