[Osst-users] osst doesn't detect my drive

[Michel M. <hpk...@sn...>]

Hello



First of all, sorry for my previous mail. My browser somehow went off and submitted the form without me wanting it to.



Now to my problem: Starting today, osst doesn't detect my DI-30 drive any more. The drive is still getting shown in the BIOS and I also see it under /proc/ide/hdb but when I load osst I get no response at all (it doesn't output any kernel messages at all until I do rmmod osst to which it responds with 'osst :I: Unloaded').



I think I already had this on a machine and it happens if you enable DMA on the osst drive... in fact I noticed that my system is now setting DMA, 32-bit IO and unmaskirq on my OSST drive but haven't been able to pinpoint where it does this yet. In the meantime I'd like to ask what could be the problem in detecting the drive once it got set to use DMA.



Greetings,

        Michel
