Re: [Voyage-linux] nodma Kernel Option (still) Not Working

[Miroslav Machala]

Hi,

that's exactly what I'm doing and what I was using with Voyage 0.5 and below without any issue. Since 0.6 (and in 0.6.5 as well) it does not work anymore.

Does ide=nodma kernel boot parameter work for anyone in 0.6.5?

Regards

MM
