Hello,
Can anyone direct me to a site, with benchmarking software for linux.
A program that does a fairly decent sysinfo would also help. While booting
linux, some of these messages are printed. Are they serious problems, or
do they occur in most systems, and can be ignored?
PCI: 00:38 [1106/0586]: Work around ISA DMA hangs (00)
Activating ISA DMA hang workarounds.
Both my hard disks work with UDMA, I'm unable to enable this in linux. Can
anyone help. The following are messages while booting with referance to
hdds.
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xe000-0xe007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xe008-0xe00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hdc: 12X, ATAPI CDROM drive

ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: ST38421A, 8056MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=1027/255/63
hdb: SAMSUNG VG32163A (2.16GB), 2063MB w/496kB Cache, CHS=524/128/63
hdc: ATAPI 10X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache
Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.54
Why does it initially say that the CDRON is a 12X, but then later, *change
its mind* and report that it is a 10X. (The CDROM is actually[I hope] a
12X, that's what it says on the drive).
