Got me an Asus K8N-E Deluxe:
2 sATA ports
4 sATA ports via Sil3114 chip
Gigabit ethernet via Hypertransport on nF3, phys. layer Marvell 88E1111
Thought "nF3, tad older, probably well supported" - yeah, well, so I thought.
Can't set hda (on IDE) to DMA mode, "Operation not permitted".
Figured that GBE only works via "forcedeth" and then only brings 100MBit.
Can't even get that one working as etho, it's up and conf'ed but I can't ping
any host outside.
Does anyone know if this is a lost cause?
Are you using 32-bit Linux or 64-bit Linux? There are messages on the
Linux Kernel Mailing List indicating this is broken in 64-bit mode but
works in 32-bit mode.
Searching around a bit for "nforce3 ide dma linux" popped up this from
NVIDIA
<http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0306/KnownProblems.html>
Which kernel version are you trying to run? What does the output of
dmesg show you?
