well.. a quick search of the list archives yielded refrences to sysctl hw.atamodes and man ata(4) also, look in LINT for stuff about hd flags and what-not and.. WDMA is not the same as UDMA apparantly, man ata has details regarding your specific chipset hopefully one or more of those will lead you too a solution it still COULD be bad hardware... i apologize if thats the case... your first post looked like an easy problem at first... guess not ): anyway... good luck! nathan On 1 Nov 2000, Arcady Genkin wrote: > nathan <beemern@telecom.ksu.edu> writes: > > > > Now the question is how to disable DMA in the kernel.
