&gt; I looked in the BIOS and I don't see a setting for toggling DMA.
&gt;
&gt; But here's what I see from dmesg:
&gt;
&gt; (this is my onboard ide controller)
&gt; ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfc00-0xfc07, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
&gt; ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfc08-0xfc0f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
&gt;
&gt; (and these are the Promise IDE channels)
&gt; ide2: BM-DMA at 0xdf50-0xdf57, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
&gt; ide3: BM-DMA at 0xdf58-0xdf5f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
&gt;
&gt; hde and hdg are my potential RAID devices, and they are set to pio.  So
&gt; is pio conflicting with DMA somehow, or should this not be affected by
&gt; DMA at all? And isn't there a way to turn off DMA via hdparm, or will
&gt; that not work here?

&gt; &gt; BIOS and see if changing it would help (I have funny problems with my
&gt; &gt; Promise controller cards and RAID also - both under RH 7.3 and Debian
&gt; &gt; on the
&gt; &gt; same machine.).

&gt; &gt;&gt; I recently purchased a Promise IDE controller and I am trying to set
&gt; &gt;&gt; up
&gt; &gt;&gt; a 2 drive RAID set on it, but it's not cooperating.  I have tried to
&gt; &gt;&gt; to
&gt; &gt;&gt; build the raid a few times and this is what I see, followed by a hard
&gt; &gt;&gt; lockup.

&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt; The ide2: reset is what is most likely causing the hard lockup, but I
&gt; &gt;&gt; have no idea what to do to fix this.  I have tried multiple drives and
&gt; &gt;&gt; different ribbon cables, and no luck.  Has anyone else seen this?
