RE : Internal speaker volume and DMA on sunblade 100

So you can enable DMA only for disks in kernel config : there is an option like "Enable DMA only for hard disk" (or something like that) in IDE section (since kernel 2.4.19 or 2.4.20, I don't remember).

Nothing else has ever been suggested or supported up to this point. However, I think Dave is making it a point to get gcc-3.2 able to build kernels.

As there is neither FrameBuffer support in the kernel nor X driver for this card, you will have to remove it and use the built-in ATI Mach64. If it does still not work try passing "ide=nodma" to the kernel (at SILO prompt type "linux ide=nodma"). This is because some DVD drives on Blade 100 seem to dislike DMA mode.

IDE with/without DMA on Sun Blade 100
Hi, I managed to install Woody on my Sun Blade 100 and it works well. There is only a small thing I would like to fix : when the DMA mode is enabled I sometime get some errors when I try to read something on a CD-ROM with the DVD-ROM drive of my Blade. To avoid this problem I have to boot with the option "ide=nodma" but the performance loss is quite big. So is there a way to disable the DMA only for the DVD drive without affecting the hard drive ? Note that I use kernel 2.4.19rc3 (the problem is the same with kernel 2.4.18) but I did not try any 2.5.x version. Olivier Hochreutiner EPFL - SSC [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. : Sorry for my English...
Re: booting on a sunblade 100
Hi, > i'm booting on a sunblade 100, and there is an error that i dont uderstand > it says > > fast data access MMU Miss I had the same error when I tried to install Woody on my Blade 100. This seems to by an OpenBoot bug. So just update the PROM to the latest version and everything should work fine. You can find the update here : http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl? patchid=79&collection=fpatches&mode=results Note that I was not able to update the PROM with the update file on an ext2 partition. It worked only when I reinstalled Solaris :-( and put the file on an UFS partition. If you have other questions about installing Woody on a Sun Blade 100, just ask on the mailing list. I should be able to answer to some of them, as I managed to install it myself (but it was not painless ;-) Regards, Olivier Hochreutiner EPFL, SSC P.S. : Sorry for my English ... - This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
