It reports "DMA disabled" messages on boot for all of my IDE drives: | VP_IDE: VIA vt82c686a (rev 22) IDE UDMA66 controller on pci00:07.1 | ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd000-0xd007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio | ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd008-0xd00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA | hda: WDC WD400BB-53AUA1, ATA DISK drive | hda: DMA disabled | blk: queue c02918a0, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff) | hdc: WDC WD1000BB-00CAA0, ATA DISK drive | hdd: CD-540E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive | hdc: DMA disabled | blk: queue c0291d0c, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff) | hdd: DMA disabled However, "hdparm" reports DMA mode to be enabled for all drives: | pc01:~ # hdparm -d /dev/hda | | /dev/hda: | using_dma = 1 (on) | pc01:~ # hdparm -d /dev/hdc | | /dev/hdc: | using_dma = 1 (on) | pc01:~ # hdparm -d /dev/hdd | | /dev/hdd: | using_dma = 1 (on) What might be the reason for this behaviour? SuSE's start scripts seem to activate DMA mode explicitly only for the CD-ROM drive ("hdd"), so I suppose that the "DMA disabled" messages the kernel reports for "hda" and "hdc" are not true. The same messages I had using "linux-2.4.20-rc4-ac1" and "linux-2.4.20-rc2-ac3".
