My system has two SATA WD Raptors for hard disks. I'm |
| 15 |
trying to get DMA working for the DVD writer which is IDE. |
| 16 |
I'd just like to eliminate the occasionaly hiccup when playing |
| 17 |
DVDs. |

FYI, AFAIK hdparm does not work with SATA. From the man |
| 20 |
page it is pretty explicit that it is EIDE/IDE only. When I try |

it against my SATA drives it barfs: |

royw-gentoo linux # hdparm -i /dev/sda |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
/dev/sda: |
| 26 |
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device |
