Robert, I gave you the wrong one. you want to use Device Drivers->ATA/ATAPI->SiS5513 to get DMA from the SiS chipsets. Pay special notice to the requirements in the info section of configuring the kernel. You need to enable a number of things, all of which are fairly obvious. The one I gave before was for VGA stuff.

Robert, Did you build you own kernel? Please check that you actually enabled SiS support. Look under Device Drivers->Character Devices->SiS Chipset support I believe that's what would turn this on.

Thanks Mark. Just tried this and all worked except the DMA access. Gives the same error as before. Any other ideas? >/sbin/hdparm -c 3 -d 1 -m 16 -A1 /dev/hda > >This means: '-c 3' enables 32 bit transfers with sync through the pci >bus, '-d 1' enables DMA operation, '-m 16' turns on multisector >transfers (with 16 sectors) and '-A1' enables the driver read ahead >feature.
