I think I do not read this properly, but I read:
hdparm warns about dma that is not enabled because it is not run before
the checkfs script.
Which is not true, as it stops whining if you edit its (hdparm) config file.
I am assuming you want to be able to run hdparm before checkfs, and that
the warning stuff do not really have anything to do with this ?
*** Bug 27464 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** actually sorry i forgot about this bug report, but i did find a fix. i set the kernel to enable DMA by default under whatever that menu name is (not at my gentoo box right now). but after i did that there was no need for hdparm anymore. thanks for the time, and i hope this helps others with the same problem. -Will The thing is that even tough I turned on "Always use DMA if possible" (or similar), the dma still isn't enabled by default, which makes the hdparm script neccessary. But, the fielsystems are checked before the hdparm script is executed, so it slows down the boot process a bit. |
