2.4.4-p1 is the kernel version that i've tried now. no succes with 2.4.3 and
below.

i've been trying without the CDROM and a normal HDD ata 66. i've made some
progress using the normal ide ata 66 driver and removing the osv4 from
kernel.

root@light:/# hdparm -t -T /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  0.81 seconds =158.02 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   MB in  8.41 seconds =  7.61 MB/sec
root@light:/# hdparm -v /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 I/O support  =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 nowerr       =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 2586/240/63, sectors = 39102336, start = 0

still my bios is set to enhaced DMA. i am still working on UDMA. if u have
any suggestions i still wait for a solution.

Please see if the 2.4.3-ac version of osb4 works on your box. I need to get
more results on this to know if I got it right

Still hangs. No ops no nothing. Just hangs. I've got 8 ext2fs in this system
and it takes foresever to start. :(

Compaq proliant ML-350 - IDE & SCSI

[Alexandru Barloiu Nicolae]

I am trying to use the DMA on the ide drives. After the reboot Dma is
enabled but if I don't disable it with hdparm the system freezes at heavy
work (copy something from a drive to the other). The SCSI works ok. Without
the DMA the system barely moves

root@light:~# hdparm  -t -T /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  4.83 seconds = 26.50 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 81.21 seconds =806.99 kB/sec

Any ideas what's wrong?

Which kernel version are you using?  The OSB4 ide driver prior to version
2.4.2-ac27 causes problems on SMP servers.  You may want to try a more
recent kernel or remove the OSB4-specific driver and use the standard
IDE/ATA driver instead.
