Re: IDE DMA setting not available on 2.4.23 as a module

> Do you have piix.o module loaded or PIIX support compiled-in?

I had it compiled in, I didn't knew it could be compiled as a module, I have
tried compiling it as a module and DMA works ok, however the module along
with ide-core are not removable as piix says it is being used.

I have compiled the kernel again with ide modular and piix compiled in, just
in case I had not done it that way before and in fact I had done it that way
and I have verified that I had done it like that, DMA doesn't work as PIIX
driver is not used, I don't see any PIIX4 messages or any BM-DMA ones when
doing it this way, that is the problem.

Hope this clarifies things a little bit.

If you need any other info/test, don't hesitate to contact.
