I could finally enable DMA, only if I do it at run time : - enable "Generic PCI bus master DMA support" - disable "Use PCI DMA by default when available" - hdparm -d 1 /dev/every_disk
I realized that a "idex=nodma" option is really lacking here. Shouldn't we disable IDE by default on Alpha at the moment, so that it at least boots ? The adventurous could always use hdparm to enable it again (it survived my 39 GB save/restore).
