All, I think I asked this before , but I am still not satisfied with the answer... I have had to boot with the nodma option since FC3... I have not had issues doing this, but I wonder if I am getting the performance I should by disabling the dma option (I have seen posts that have pointed that nodma can reduce linux performance on some machines). The question that I have not resolved is what can I do about it????? Are there jumpers on the IDE devices that should be looked at/investigated? If I hooked up devices using Cable Select vs physically jumpering devices to primary/secondary will it make any difference? Can I tell which device or devices are responsible for the DMA issues? Can I tell when buying or looking at a device whether it supports the proper dma standards? Can I go to a web site or other location to check for compatible dma devices? Sorry about the interrogation... thanks... John Best jbest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Yahoo Msgr: JohnJBest
