Re: [gentoo-user] hdparm and ide-scsi
Thanks, that works, and DMA is on. I do want to make some extra settings (irq-unmasking etc), any idea why /dev/hdc does not exist?

As for extra settings.. I haven't bothered looking really. Checking the sectors count and transfer size might be an idea, but I'm not sure. Not my field of expertiese. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!

Re: [gentoo-user] hdparm and ide-scsi
That's strange, on mandrake it still exists, but only for settings with hdparm, you cannot mount it anymore.
