|
|
|
|
|
The

driver supports the following IDE controllers
|
|
|
|
|
and provides the interface with the hardware for the

|
|
|
|
The 0x0002 flag forces the
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be
|
|
|
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
This can be used as a debugging aid, or to work around
|
|
|
|
|
problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
The AMD756 chip revision D2 has a bug affecting DMA (but not Ultra-DMA)
|
|
|
|
|
modes.
|
|
|
|
|
The workaround documented by AMD is to not use DMA on any drive which
|
|
|
|
|
does not support Ultra-DMA modes.
|
|
|
|
|
This does not appear to be necessary on all drives, the
|
|
|
|
|
PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA option can be used to force multiword DMA
|
|
|
|
|
on the buggy revisions.
|
|
|
|
|
Multiword DMA can eventually be disabled on a
|
|
|
|
|
per-drive basis with config flags, see
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr wd 4 .
|
|
|
|
|
The bug, if triggered, will cause a total system hang.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above
|
|
|
|
|
are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz.
|
|
|
|
|
This driver may not work properly on overclocked systems.
