[9fans] dma on - me too ?

[steve.simon]

Hi,

At the risk of asking stupid questions, can I just add my boards pci
device/vendor IDs to the kernel and turn on DMA? My machine is a
P1 233 (CPU is ok, but disk I/O is a bit slow).

output of pci below.

See my previous post. This is an ALI controller chip and I have no idea if it
is compatible with the Intel register layout, has bugs, etc. You can try to find those
things out before you try it and maybe it is OK. Sometimes the corruption is subtle.
