Hi,
I would like to know whether anybody has enabled DMA for T41 yet. I can't 
seems to do it.

root # hdparm -d1 /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
 using_dma    =  0 (off)

kernal is already 
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y

HD info are as follows
root # hdparm -i /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

 Model=FUJITSU MHT2040AH, FwRev=006C, SerialNo=NP0JT4527113

 AdvancedPM=yes: mode=0x80 (128) WriteCache=enabled
 Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 3a:

I would like to know whether anybody has gotten a working configuration, and 
can you post the results of hdparm -Tt /dev/hda as compared to mine?

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   1780 MB in  2.00 seconds = 888.36 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   22 MB in  3.14 seconds =   7.02 MB/sec

Thanks,
