Guest 969696 Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 At startup i get the following error ICH4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev f9 PCI: Device 00:1f.1 not available because of resource collisions ICH4: (ide_setup_pci_device:) Could not enable device. I thought nothing about it until i recently found i had very low hard drives results. Using hdparm i got /dev/hdb: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.35 seconds =365.71 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 12.69 seconds = 5.04 MB/sec [/color] This intel page gives details about the problem. Since the 845e chipset comes with ICH4... http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/linux/udma.htm I know i'm not the only one with this problem, how did you solve it ? Being a linux newbie, i don't know how to solve this. Thanks[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmpatrick Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Your not alone. We all feel your pain. Check this thread: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...=639&highlight= It's not just a Mandrake problem; it's a kernel problem with 2.4.19. People with the current versions of Knoppix and Suse based on the same kernel are having the same problem. The install will go, but you cannot enable dma. The new kernel, 2.4.20 will fix the problem and it works fine under 2.4.18(Redhat 8.0). They just blew it with 2.4.19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
