Re: 10.0 DMA Issues With SIS-5597/5598 Chipset

As an update to my post, I have tried replacing the storage device that I was using with a different one, and the DMA issue persists. I also updated the BIOS on the board to the most recent one released, and that made no difference.

Unfortunately, ACPI doesn't seem to be working on this board, and I'd guess that might be why the pciide driver can't enable DMA on the siside chipset.

Any ideas?

All,

I have an IBM 586ve SBC in an IBM Industrial PC 7587, as described here:
https://www.ardent-tool.com/SBC/586VE_SBC.html

The machine mostly works fine, but I get these ACPI errors during boot:

[ 1.000004] mainbus0 (root)
[ 1.000004] Firmware Error (ACPI): A valid RSDP was not found (20221020/tbxf

Additionally, DMA is not enabled, even though it is supposed to be supported on the SIS 5597/5598 chipset:

There aren't really a lot of BIOS settings on this board, as it's an IBM SurePath BIOS system.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

Thanks!
