How to turn off DMA only for the TAPE ide channel (hdd) and not for the harddisk (hda) channel? The option which I have found is "ide=nodma" that turn off ALL DMA.
I am able to turn off DMA for only the tape drive using the following steps, assuming that the tape drive is hdd:
a) use "MAKEDEV hdd" to create /dev/hdd b) "cp -a /dev/hdd /etc/udev/devices" c) add "hdparm -d0 /dev/hdd" to /etc/rc.d/rc.local Craig
