Description Jeff Wiedemeier 2002-02-04 15:32:36 UTC

Description of Problem:

Can't enable DMA on CD-ROM (IDE) on AlphaServer DS10, AlphaServer DS10L,
AlphaServer ES40, AlphaServer ES45.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel 2.4.9-14a

How Reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. during boot, note ALi15x3: simplex device messages
2. after booting, try hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda (assuming CD is hda)
3. hdparm fails to set dma

Actual Results:

Can't turn on DMA

Expected Results:

DMA turned on

Additional Information:
	
This is caused by the lack of the ali15x3 driver in the kernel. The generic PCI
IDA dma driver does not deal with the ALi1543 on these systems correctly. The
correct driver is needed. 

To fix - enable "ALI M15x3 chipset support" under "IDE, ATI, and ATAPI Block
devices" in the kernel configuration.
