He only has the one device on IDE as you can see that the probe only shows
hdb, and i have a PIIX4 too and they do UDMA33 well enough, in fact i'm not
aware of any DMA problems with the PIIX4. Richard, have you tried disabling
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO and CONFIG_PIIX_TUNING ?
But looking at the code in ide-features.c it doesn't look like we have
enabled DMA by the time we get to that code.
if (error) {
(void) ide_dump_status(drive, "set_drive_speed_status", stat);
return error;
}
<----- snip ----- >
#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA) && !defined(CONFIG_DMA_NONPCI)
if (speed > XFER_PIO_4) {
outb(inb(hwif->dma_base+2)|(1<<(5+unit)), hwif->dma_base+2);
} else {
outb(inb(hwif->dma_base+2) & ~(1<<(5+unit)),
hwif->dma_base+2);
}
#endif /* (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA) && !(CONFIG_DMA_NONPCI) */
But bear in mind i'm far from being remotely knowledgeable about this
specific code ;)
