| |
I'm using kernel 2.4.18-pre9, which has a problem when I switch DMA on the IDE hard drive. With DMA enabled, I cannot complete a kernel compile without the machine locking up. The motherboard is an ASUS board, with 512MB of DDR RAM and an Athlon 1800 XP. If I turn the ide DMA off, then I can compile as many linux kernels as I like with no lockup. This DMA lockup also occurs on other 2.4.x kernels. Is anyone interested in getting me to test a fix for this problem?

with dma off hdparm -Tt /dev/hda gives:
/dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.56 seconds =228.57 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 14.85 seconds = 4.31 MB/sec
with dma off hdparm -Tt /dev/hda gives:
/dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.49 seconds =261.22 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.70 seconds = 37.65 MB/sec
Cheers. Paul
