With kernet 2.2.18 DMA mode for my harddisks worked just fine,
getting IDE DMA working on an AMD7409 controller with kernel 2.4.2 is a problem.
questions:
Why is DMA disabled on revision < C4?
How can I gat DMA working again?
The Information:
in 2.2.18 I get:
--------- dmesg: ----------

AMD7409: disabling single-word DMA support (revision < C4)
This is not Ultra DMA it is the class of orignal from ATA-1/2

I'm not using this, since my drives are not UDMA66 or UDMA100

I get 148.8 and 12 MB/sec on my IBM-DTTA-351010 drives.
I get the same message about no single word DMA due
to chip revision.
# hdparm -v /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
I/O support = 3 (32-bit w/sync)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 19650/16/63, sectors = 19807200, start = 0
What does /proc/ide/hda/settings show?
What about /proc/ide/amd74xx ?

DMA is off and I bet you did not enable the new AUTODMA config setting.
