Cannot enable DMA od DVD burner under 2.6.12
I have SATA disk on /dev/sda and IDE DVD burner (LG) on /dev/hda. The chipset is Intel 82801EB.
I fought hard to install Debian on this machine with debian-installer's linux26 (atapi-piix SATA driver is crap in 2.6).
Now DVD works and I would like to enable DMA on the IDE /dev/hda burner but hdparm gives:
hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
I am using the stock debian kernel 2.6.12-1-686 and up-to-date unstable system.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Krystof
