 yaird ver. 0.0.12-3. but my self-compiled kernel does not use initrd.

ah, so the bug is your own fault :)

  Please try the upcoming 2.6.15 kernels which will be uploaded hopefully 
  today.
 
 i will when it's available thru apt-get.

Tomorrow hoepfully.

?

my own kernel (no initrd) has dma enabled. the debian default one
cannot let me enable dma.

you mean that this version of yaird has error?

to be safer, i compiled the relevant ide driver directly into the
kernel. and i notice that the debian default kernel compiled the
driver as module. but as viewed from lsmod, i think i've the relevant
driver loaded.

The debian default one is an initrd kernel, and this seems to be a bug in the
interaction of the via ide driver and ide-generic.

Not sure, it should fix this issue, but if you still see it, then the fix is
bogus. can you check if ide-generic is loaded before or after via-ide.

And indeed, please file a bug against yaird about this, jonas and erik would
like to know about this.

Indeed. The problem is ide-generic.

try initramfs-tools - curious if there your dma is on?

It should have been fixed both way. Still i believe this is a kernel bug.

Normally, you should be able to drive that controller with only the via-dide
driver, and not even try to load ide-generic as it seems to be done here.

What does initramfs-tools try to do about this ?

 its dma is not enabled and i can not use hdparm to enable it. if i use
 hdparm, then it tells me i don't have enough permission.
 
 i then recompiled the kernel with the attached config. and the dma is
 enabled now.

This is probably the now infamous ide-generic bug. what version of yaird or
initramfs-tools did you try ? 

Please try the upcoming 2.6.15 kernels which will be uploaded hopefully today.
