[PATCH] Make ATA DMA optional; default off
by Kevin O'Connor 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

There were some complaints from non-qemu users about the ATA DMA causing failures. Until this is sorted out, I've added a config option for this support and defaulted it off. I've already committed this change. -Kevin diff --git a/src/ata.c b/src/ata.c index add1d67..a2a670b 100644 --- a/src/ata.c +++ b/src/ata.c @@ -381,6 +381,8 @@ struct sff_dma_prd { static int ata_try_dma(struct disk_op_s *op, int iswrite, int blocksize) { + if (!

Hello Kevin, I can't give you the full log for the keyboard problem. I think this is a timeout issue: when I run Seabios in debuglevel=8, no problem, but if debuglevel=1 or even 4, my keyboard don't want to initialize most of the time. So, I suppose that sending debug data to the port gives time to the keyboard to initialize correctly. The attachment files are the logs you asked me reporting the Vista booting error. Do you use DMA since version 0.5.1 to boot ?

I tried with only my Vista HDD and seabios doesn't want to boot Windows boot manager. For info, my linux-grub2 is on a sata hdd, but Vista isn't.

Here is the keyboard log in debuglevel4. The first HDD boots grub2 without troubles, but the second drive can't boot Vista boot manager.

I haven't seen this reported before. Can you set the debug level to 8 on both the working and non-working versions of SeaBIOS and post the full logs? Thanks, -Kevin

I'm sorry, but I can't send you the keyboard failure log because if debuglevel=8, I don't have any failure: the timeout doesn't occur. The only info I can get is the keyboard timeout error in my first mail. Do you need the full log when the keyboard initialization failed because of the timeout ? > Message du 16/01/10 à 17h46 > De : "Kevin O'Connor" <kevin(a)koconnor.net> > A : congedete(a)voila.fr > Copie à : > Objet : Re: [coreboot] Seabios problems > > > On Sat, Jan 16, 2010 at 04:10:59PM +0100, congedete(a)voila.fr wrote: > > Here is the report as attachment. > > Thanks - I only see the 'lspci' output though - not the keyboard > failure log. > > -Kevin > > ____________________________________________________ Vous n’avez pas encore adressé vos voeux ?
