DetailsDescription:
DMA doesn't seem to work on my hard disk. I've got a PATA 200GB disk, DMA isn't set by default and it can't be set by the "/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/sda" command. Additional info: * package version(s) : kernel26 2.6.29.4-1 * config and/or log files etc. output of : /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/sda /dev/sda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device output of : /sbin/hdparm /dev/sda /dev/sda: multcount = 0 (off) IO_support = 0 (default) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 24321/255/63, sectors = 390721968, start = 0 I'm using a P965 Neo motherboard, I've previously had some problems with it (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=47039) and this disk, but that has been solved upstream. I'm guessing DMA issue hasn't been (it has been here for as long as I've been using linux at least, 2 years or so). |

Assuming the situation is as described in Thomas' comment.
Please report to upstream if the problem persist with the recent kernel/hdparm.

It seems that there is simply no DMA option exported to hdparm - probably because you cannot disable it and it is always enabled. Note, I also get the same error message, although this is an SATA disk. I am going for "Not a bug" here.
