Hello |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
The reason you had this: |
| 4 |
setting using_dma to 1 (on) |
| 5 |
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Was because it was not enabled in the kernel! That is all about. I had this problem before and tried to tweak the kernel and re-compiled it. That caused I mis-configured other things. It must be enabled in the kernel NOT as module. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
At last I solved the problem with re-installing Gentoo using genkernel! None document found on the Internet telling me this. How I found this out? When I boot with Gentoo universal CD, everything fine, booting was fast, DMA was set to ON, I got beautiful fonts, etc. |

|
| 11 |
Hope that help. |
